Guest Carolanne Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Hi all, We are installing a new W2K3 file server. I need to copy the data off the old file server onto this new one and everything copies fine except the roaming profiles. I keep getting access denied. What's up? Thanks
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: Copy profiles to new server Have you checked if you have permissions to the user profiles? If you haven't set this policy in a GPO, then you most likely haven't: Computer Configuration - Administrative templates - System - User profiles "Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles" _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?Q2Fyb2xhbm5l?= <Carolanne@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 17 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > Hi all, > > We are installing a new W2K3 file server.

Guest Carolanne Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: Copy profiles to new server I don't see that option in Windows 2000. Our current DC is Windows 2000.

Guest Carolanne Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 RE: Copy profiles to new server Oops. Nevermind. I find that setting lurking under Logon. Let's see how it likes me now!!

Guest Carolanne Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 RE: Copy profiles to new server This only applies to new user profiles. How can I go about copying existing profiles? I know that I can always take ownership of all the profiles to force them to do my bidding but I'm really afraid this will hose all my end users. Any thoughts on this one? Anyone?

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 RE: Copy profiles to new server After you've taken ownership of the folders, you can use CACLS to modify the permissions of the user profile folders, if necessary. Be sure to make a full backup before changing all permissions. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?Q2Fyb2xhbm5l?= <Carolanne@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 20 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > This only applies to new user profiles.
