Is it possible to disable the below-mentioned warning message on a
client, if the network is unreachable? Maybe this is possible via
registry or group policy?

CLIENT: Windows XP Professional (SP3)
SERVER: Windows 2003 Standard Server (SP2)

INFO: We do not save roaming profiles locally on clients. So this is
why the warning message appears. Because it's our intention, it would
be helpful to disable the message.



WARNING MESSAGE: "Windows cannot locate the server copy of your
roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local
profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when
you logoff. You may receive this error message because of network
problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem persists,
contact your network administrator."

Hello Martin,

If i understand you correct you use roaming profiles. So this message appears
only if the network connection is not available to download the profile.
Even if you safe the profiles on a server share, there is still a local profile
used/created when you logon. As the profile is not to copy to the local machine
you will get this message. You MUST have a profile on the machine where you
logging on, either the roaming profile or a local created when the copy option
isn't possible.

If i misunderstand your question please clarify.

Best regards

Hello Meinolf,

Many thanks for your prompt response.

You're right. We are using roaming profiles (stored on the server) and
the message appears, when no network connection is available. After
logon an user profile will generated on the local machine by means of
"Default User" in C:\Documents and Settings\. After a specified time
the computer will automatically reboot (shutdown-script in autostart),
because we don't want any local logons. After reboot/shutdown local
created profiles will be deleted automatically by a script.

I know it's a little bit confusing to understand why we're doing it on
this way. We just want a profile on the server, which is used on
several machines. We don't want to configure or update every profile
on each machine. Changes on the profile will not be saved. If the
network is unreachable, we don't want that the user is able to work
with his local profile. Everything should be restricted expect some
programmes we defined.

(For better understanding this is a terminal in a class room with
restricted access.)

Everything working as planned. The only unlovely thing is that the
user see the warning message when the network is unavailable (create
locale profile). Maybe it's possible to blanking this message?

Best regards

Martin

I think you misunderstand what you have and what it is really Doing.

It just isn't possible to not have profiles at all locally. The closest
you can come to that is with Folder Redirection and it only applies to parts
of the profile (ex. can't include browser favorites).

It is always going to copy the remote profile to the local machine and is
going to run from there. It doesn't matter if a script deletes it on
shutdown because it will be recreated when the user logs back in. Also
using Manditory profiles is no different. Also making it not save changes
permanently doesn't change anything,...in fact that is really doing the same
thing as your "script",...so your script is redundant.

The reason you get that warning message is because it is exactly true,...it
really is going to do exactly what it says,...and you cannot change it.

Hi Phillip,

No, the procedure is understandable and clear to me.

BACKGROUND: A local copy of the server profile is not the problem. But
I don't want to save this profile for next restart. So you can set in
the GPO that the profile will be deleted after logoff. But that
doesn't always work. Sometimes there are some files which Windows
could not delete and so you get duplicate folders (e.g. Username,
Username.0001, Username.0002,…). We already installed "User Profile
Hive Cleanup Service", but sometimes Windows still can't delete the
profile-folder after logoff. For this case our script is working
perfectly and will remove these folders.

> The reason you get that warning message is because it is exactly true,...it
> really is going to do exactly what it says,...and you cannot change it.

Okay, thank you very much. Everything else is working fine. I thought
it's possible to deactivate this warning message.

I know there is an alternative way by using the GPO (logoff when
network is unreachable), but this not working on our clients. Wenn the
network is not available the computer shoukd automatically shutdown
after logon. This is why we're using this confusing way. :-)

Sorry simple english. Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Martin

Hello Martin,

Which GPO do you mean exactly for "logoff when network is unreachable"? I
can't find it.

Hello Meinolf,

not exactly the wording, but similar effect:

Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles: Log users off when
roaming profile fails
(HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System!ProfileErrorAction)

DESCRIPTION: Logs a user off automatically when the system cannot load
the user's roaming user profile. This setting is used when the system
cannot find the roaming user profile or the profile contains errors
which prevent it from loading correctly.

Best regards

Martin

Thanks for the correct path. Did you check on a problem client where it doesn't
work with gpresult /v that the GPO is applied and with RSOP.msc that the
settigns are also listed?

Thinking along the same lines as Meinolf,...if this policy is not working or

Once it works consistantly, none of this will be an issue anymore.

Meinolf is more suited to helping you sort that out than I am.
