Guest UselessUser Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Hi all, We have roaming profiles stored on a 2003 server, the group policy to automatically create profiles with Administrator Full Control is NOT set. I needed to delete some files from a user's profile, so I went into the folder and took ownership so I could see the folder and added my permissions full control. I then deleted the files I needed to, and gave ownership back to the user, set their permissions to full control, and finally removed my permissions from the folder... Everything appeared to be back to normal, however the user is getting an access denied error when they attempt to login... The only way I have been able to get around this is to readd all my permissions and leave them there? Why is simply putting everything back not working?

Guest UselessUser Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Re: Roaming Profile Take Ownership problem Thanks for the reply but it does not answer my question it simply gets around it which is not what I am looking for... Is there a specific step I am missing in putting the original permissions back?
