Roaming Profiles

1. I have a local domain running on a pair of Enterprise 2003 Servers.
2.. I use Roaming Profiles normally fairly successfully with the XP SP2
boxes in the network.
3. I have yet to get them to work with any release of Windows Vista. Vista
always tells me that it can't load the profile and is going to use the local
ones.

Suggestions please on what to look for. The event log on the Vista box is
not particularly interesting as near as I can tell.

Yet another reason why Vista isn't ready for prime time.

NOTE TO MS LURKERS: If the problem is my fault, in the sense that I need to
do something to my domain then it would have been really slick if the
message that was display said something like "You can't use your roaming
profile, giving you a local one. Have your IT jocks read KB article
#123457890."

Al Christoph

This continues to be a problem in RTM vista.

Try this:

The command to disable the autotuninglevel is:

- Click start, All Programs
- Accessories
- Right-click Command Prompt
- Click Run As Administrator
- Type the following: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- Press enter
- Restart your computer (not really necessary)

In fact for my Profile problem was that Windows was in slow bandwidth and of
course as the old Windows, by default it not download the profile but just
create a temp folder.

I have walked through the steps via group policy/folder redirection to point
my profile to the correct shrare, but vista is still not loading it. Please
help!

Hello,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

From your post, do you get any error messages when you load the roaming
profile on Windows Vista?

Thanks & Regards,

We have one machine on our Windows 2000 network that has Vista. The others
are all XP.. The Vista machine is not loading the roaming profile and so our
desktop changes are not saved. This seems to be a common problem (Outside of
our company - we only have the one machine as I said) . And I don't know how
to attack the solutions. I see stuff about redirecting folders - I don't
know what that is... I'm really a developer but I am trying to assist the
System Admin so that this one PC will work for our new VP. So that makes me
VHM (Very Highly Motivated) but I need the answer to be simple enough so even
I can explain it. Thanks.

Hi Ken,

I thought I would reply to this post as the poster hasn't, and I too have
problems.I have recently migrated my machine from XP to Vista (clean install).

On all of my (SBS 2003 Standard) clients, users use a roaming profile
configured as \\domain.local\profiles\%username% which used to work no
problem.

However, since migrating myself to Vista my profile is not loaded correctly
due to a slow link being detected which is definitely not the case.

I have set the profiles share with Full Control for Authorised Users, tried
deleting my profile etc but to no avail.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike Firth

I have a question on vista roaming profiles stored in file server hom
directories, My customer upgrading his desktops to vista from window
2000 pro. He is currently using roaming profiles in win2kpro and he d
not have any issues as such. But when he did some basic analysis o
vista, the network throughput between file server and clients at logo
time is really huge in vista compared to win2kpro.It is almost 7 time
that of win2kpro. Is there any known issue on vista roaming profile? I
so, how it is in vista sp1
