Removing roaming profiles

[Guest Mike \(NLX\)]

I need to remove roaming profiles from one of my Terminal Servers.

 

There are two terminal servers in the domain and are located in their own

OU. That OU had a Group Policy associated with it that set the Roaming

Profile path. I disabled that GPO but the profiles were still loading from

the server location. I then stopped sharing the server profile location and

as expected got the profile cannot be found error when a user logged in.

 

I then deleted the GPO link to the OU. But still get the Server Profile

Location error when logging in.

 

Anyone have any ideas? I want the users to use new local profiles when

logging into the 2nd terminal sever.

 

thanks,

-mike

Run gpupdate /force - then review your event logs & rsop.msc for errors.

 

PS: you want to avoid the phrase "roaming profiles" when referring to TS

profiles - TS profiles *do* roam but the former phrase is generally taken to

mean "profiles used by my desktop users in the domain'

thanks for the gpupdate command. I rebooted several times to no avail, but

then went back several hours later and the policy had now taken. The manual

command you sent is what I'll use next time.

 

Also, thanks for the terminology correction. ;)

Glad to hear it's working.

No worries - just helps to keep things clear for everyone!
