Guest marinthal Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 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

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.
Guest marinthal Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Re: File Server/User Profiles 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!

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 :) > > Thanks, > Mari > > "Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]" wrote: > >> marinthal <marinthal@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >>> Hello! >>> I have a W3KSP2 Server that is setup to be a file server only.
