Guest John Holt Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Hello all, Setting up a new Windows 2008 network. I have 2 domain controllers. In the past with Windows 2003, users have always been able to logon to my rdp servers as long as 1 of the domain controllers is up. In the users info, terminal services profile tab, profile path I've always had %logonserver%\sysvol\somecompany\someuser It's seems that Windows 2008 will not use the %logonserver%. Is that gone from 08? Is there a different system variable I should use instead? Users can logon fine if I specify the server name. But if that is specific, and that server goes down, loging on ends. Anyone know how I can get around this? Thanks John
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Re: Roaming Profiles - Win 2008 Hello John, If you type "set" in a command prompt, you can see that LOGONSERVER is used. Additional use DFS shared folders and not the SYSVOL for replication, it works but better use SYSVOL only for real AD replication.

Guest John Holt Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Re: Roaming Profiles - Win 2008 Thanks for the reply Meinolf. :) Ya, I can see that LOGONSERVER still exist. But it appearantly can not be used in my path like before. These are real AD replications. I just add the company+users folder name to help keep track and organize. I still need the profiles replicated like before.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Re: Roaming Profiles - Win 2008 Hello John, If i run on a member server in the run line %logonserver%\sysvol\mydomain.local it works fine. Did you try it this way?

Guest John Holt Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Re: Roaming Profiles - Win 2008 Yes I did. I have tried every variation I could think of. No go. :( "Meinolf Weber" <meiweb(nospam)@gmx.de> wrote in message news:ff16fb669f97c8ca963876b67520@msnews.microsoft.com... > Hello John, > > If i run on a member server in the run line > %logonserver%\sysvol\mydomain.local it works fine.

Guest twcz3 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: Roaming Profiles - Win 2008 Fist of all Microsoft is fully of cr^p! They need to quit messing around and fix this problem, this a big!!! They sold us all a useless tool! Vista and 2008 server is flawed. %longonserver% has been here for years, and is very important! For anyone that is using DC's.... YES this is how its suppose to work : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141714... You know it and I know it! Please don't show me! I'm glad you know how it work too, don't give us a link to something we already know. It work before and should work now! Plan and simple....fix it! there more people out there just like us: http://forums.technet.microsoft.com/en-US/winservergen/thread/46b2dbe5-dc5a-495d-8760-dea26aba8cc2/ if you search more you will find a lot more.... sp1 did nothing for us! You cant even get vista to work with 2003 server.....
