Is there a log somewhere that provides a log of what is going on and why all my roaming profiles are failing. I have it set so that the user is the owner and has full control but each time I log off I get: "Windows cannnot update roaming profile" error. I've looked in the users profile folder and there is nothing in there.

Thanks, Noah

  • I just confirmed that is is a permissions issue. When I go to the location: \\domain.local\Files\Profiles\TQUser and I'm logged in as TQUser, I can't create a file there. Which is odd because I have full control/access of that folder as that user. Any ideas on what else to check or take a look at. I'm using DFS if that makes any difference.

    What SHARE permissions are on the root share?

  • I went back and went to sharing and set Everyone to have full control. That didn't do the trick, but I figured it would on the TQUser folder. Or do I need to look at Profiles?

  • It was the Profiles folder. I get it now the permissions i was messing with were local.

I would recommend looking in the event logs on the computer and seeing if there are any relevant events. You can also turn on user environment logging as per this article:

  • I figured it out without using this, but it would have been helpful had the issue not been resolved.
