Guest Anthony [MVP] Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Re: copy user profile You can use backup/restore to copy user profiles. Or Robocopy with the /b parameter.

Guest David Shen [MSFT] Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 RE: copy user profile Hello NT, Thank you posting here. Based on the research, for Windows Server 2008 terminal server, the roaming profile is a good solution in the scenario. Solution 1. Apply roaming profile on the Windows Server 2008 terminal server to save the users profile on the other server. 2. Run regedit on all the clients, find and locate the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ExcludeProfileDirs, and remove the value of ExcluedProfileDirs. This should be help to roaming the data under the C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail to the server. 3. Logon and logoff on all the clients to make it save to the server. 4. For the consideration of performance, I would like suggest that you keep using roaming profile after the reinstallation of the terminal server. Hope it helps.
