File Server/User Profiles


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have a W3KSP2 Server that is setup to be a file server only. User home

directories are also stored on this server. Under Documents & Settings, a

partial profile is being created for users. (I say "partial" because its

205kb in size and only contains: Cookies, Application Data, Local Settings

and ntuser.dat) Can anyone tell me why? We do not use roaming profiles

anywhere in our domain. Users do not have local log on rights to this server

either.

 

Thanks,

Mari

Weird. So no terminal services on there? Who has RDP access? Are you seeing

folders for *all* your users?

 

Even if you had roaming profiles, the data wouldn't be under documents &

settings anyway. That's only for users who've logged on *at* that machine.

No, there are no terminal services running. Only admins have RDP access.

And yes, almost all of our users have folders. This is the only server we've

seen this issue with as well. Any/all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Mari

I simply can't see any way this could happen unless someone logged in

remotely or at the console. Turn up auditing & review your event logs to see

what you can find. Maybe you've got gremlins :)
