All the XP Professional machines are pulling the roaming profiles with no problem. Why does only 1 user account pull its roaming profile while the remaining 22 accounts will not? Please, HELP! Thank you one and all for any and all input on this issue. Monday, August 30, AM.

Please, HELP!!!! I don't mean to shout, but we are desparate and really need a solution that will work. Thanks again. Sunday, September 5, AM. Monday, September 6, AM. Arthur Xie - Thanks for the posting. I even went as far as turning off the Windows 7 UAC, and that did not resolve anything.

Again, thank you for your post and please, don't give up on me, I really need this resolved. Hi, The application installation should be run by the command setup.

Tuesday, September 7, AM. Arthur Xie - Thanks again for the response. Tuesday, September 7, PM. Do you deploy printers or faxes to clients?

Generally if the printers you installed are not compatible with Windows 7, the issue will occur. I suggest you remove the published printers and check the result. Wednesday, September 8, AM. Arthr Xie - Again, I thank you so very much for the post. Wednesday, September 8, PM. Hi, From the log we can see that you configure to push the printers and faxes to client computers. Microsoft Update Catalog Also please let us know if you are publishing applications from the server.

Thursday, September 9, AM. Arthur Xie - Again, thank you so very much for your assistance on this issue. Thursday, September 9, PM. Hi, I will wait here for your response. Friday, September 10, AM. Arthur Xie - We updated the printer drivers and Windows 7 when I logged on as the client, those printers installed with no problem. Again, thank you so very much with sticking with me on trying to resolve this Windows 7 issue. Sunday, September 12, AM.

Hi, The event ID should not related to this issue. Hope it helps. Wednesday, September 15, AM. Arthur Xie - Again, thank you so very much with hanging in there with me on this. Let me know and I will post it for you and again, thank you so very much. Wednesday, September 15, PM. I removed the user account then added the user account manually copying from a known good account i changed the profile path to match the new user.

The account was created successfully and i logged on and off several times to make sure Outlook was connecting to Exchange and the My Doc was connecting to the target properly. The desktop and outlook settings do not. Any thoughts?

The desktop should travel with the profile, along with background images, and so forth. I would suggest you verify the Profile setup for this user; perhaps comparing to a working profile user. As to the Outlook setting traveling with the user, i think you have to do some extra work to get Outlook to properly roam, depending on your version of Outlook. I was hoping that I would be receiving more postings, but with no more responses, I take it that Windows 7 is a bust, not designed to be as backward compatible as we were told and that XP is still the best platform out there unless you totally rip out all of your working infrastructure that is still supported by Microsoft and install the latest, greatest server OS that Microsoft has.

Risk that our existing softwares would probably not run on the latest and greatest MS server OS because, I we now see with Windows 7, that argument about being backward compatible, only applies to the latest stuff from Microsoft and not their previous working and supported stuff.

It should work although I've not tried this myself. I want to thank you for your input. The problem is that Windows 7, even though the users are all members of the local Windows 7 "Administrators" group, this "Applnch. The only person that it ran for is the domain "Administrator" and one user who is a member of the domain "Administrators" group. Here is a link to the screen shot showing the dialog box of the "Applnch. Again, my client is getting impatient and is ready to totally abandon a deployment of 24 machines with Windows 7 and stick with XP Professional if this can not get resolved.

Here is the darn problem, which everyone does not get ; page 27 in the guide starts out by having you log on as a domain user account, create a temp environment and log off.

This is supposed to create, on the local Windows 7 machine, a local user profile. I have been fighting this thing since August. After today, if I there is no resolution posted, then Windows 7 backward compatability is a lie. We can't afford to spend hours per machine to try to get Windows 7 to work with SBS Times that by 24 machines.

Since know one can provide us with a solution, after today, Windows 7 is scrapped, XP will be purchased and installed on all new machines being purchased. That also means that all the big OEM machine manufacurers, like Dell, our out of the picture for machine purchases. If the situation is a desperate as that, perhaps a call directly to them would help. They will stick with you until the issue is resolved.

I know that the cost of the call can be an issue, but what is the cost of all the time you have spent? Lastly, it seems to revolve around the concept of roaming profiles and Windows 7. Have you tried it without roaming profiles? Thanks for the response. None is created on the local Windows 7 mahine. You are going to have to remove the profile from every security and distribution groups and also remove the profile path before you can log onto the network with the profile.

Once you do that a plocal rofile cache will be created for that account on Win7. Ensure that everything for that profile is setup and good to go because as soon as you add all the memberships back to the profile on the server and log onto the profile from Win7 again it will log you on with the local profile cache and the user will be able to access all network shares. However, it will still notify you that it cannot find your roaming profile, it also will not sync My Document Redirection and other background domain tasks just look in the Application events in Event Viewer.

In fact right now, I have a user, I had going with this process, that also cannot change their expired password on Win7, he get the following error message;. They have not provided any solution. I want to thank Dell for their support on this issue and it seems that after 2 weeks working with Dell tech support, we might have found the solution.

So far, all is working, with the exception of small issues here and there. We expect those issues since the profiles in XP are not compatible with the profiles with Windows 7 or Vista.

Hi Mike - Do you mind sharing Dell's solution? We have a nearly identical situation from what I read in your posts. I have the same exact scenario as you.

As Sean said, I'm sure there are others who need the answer as well. BTW, this thread was the top hit on Google on the subject "roaming profiles on win 7". Worked well for all users After setting it up and configuring it for the network I was able to connect to the network, see the mapped drives and connect to the internet easily. HOWEVER, it did not show my usual desktop or my documents from my roaming profile, they were just those of a new user.

I worked on this for a day, then decided to invoke my Dell Gold support for the next day and they could not get this roaming profile working despite a DSET report, another network diag report, and webexing in. He concluded that it was a permissions issue on the profile after seeing the event log on the aurora comp. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? SQL Server. Sign in. United States English. They will share 10 new windows 7 machines in an IT suite.

Then we plan to do the same for the teachers etc. There has to be a better, more efficient way of doing this Any chance of upgrading to Server first? I would recommend that before deploying Win 7. In an ideal world, i would do this, but sadly due to time scales and financial reasons our customer is unable to go down the best practise route, so im stuck with what i have unfortunatley.

I was also under the impression that i could install RSAT onto one of the win 7 machines, until the server is replaced to help with GPO compatabilty, although i may need to update AD
