    Roaming profiles sbs 2008 and windows 7

    I have created all my users in AD.
    I have set up all the redirection in SBS Console.

    However, after connecting the first notebook to the domain, when I log in
    using a username in AD, but who is not a local user on the SBS, there is no
    folder redirection at all. All folders are still on the local c:\users
    folders.

    By the way, I could not connect this notebook to the domain using
    "http://connect". I always received a message about it not matching the
    maximum operating system something. I had to connect to the domain using
    System properties.

    Install sbs specific update rollup 3 that will update the supported OS's
    on SBS 2008 to include Windows 7

    Ensure the box is flipped to MU
    run www.sbsbpa.com on it

    Yea, that is if you can find that update! Last week I deployed a server and
    21 workstations in a classroom and had the same issue. After reading blogs
    and such and realized the rollup was the issue I could not find it anywhere.
    The links only take you to the microsoft KB article
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;969121 that states
    the update is only available from http://update.microsoft.com. However,
    when I tried to update the server it stated that it was completely up to
    date. Tried to find just that specific update and apply it manually was a
    joke too. To be honest I worked on that for about an hour, and I could not
    tell you how, but after multiple tries to run the "connect" command it
    finally worked. Now I have to deploy another server next weekend and I am
    afraid that I will run into the same issue.

    Although it escapes me right now, there was another patch that I had the
    same issue with a year or two ago.

    One thing is for sure though if Susan is reading your post and helping you,
    consider it done! No need to kiss her *** because she doesn't know me, but
    as far as I am concerned.... she's a frick'n Genius!

    Wasn't that update rollup 2 by any chance? You can certainly find this
    one.
