I can not get Vista Beta 2 to log in using a domain roaming profile. It
authenticates the user correctly with the Win Server '03 domain, however, I
get the message stating that it couldn't load the roaming profile and instead
logged me in with a temp profile. This happens for all domain users on my AD
on the Vista box, but all work fine on XP SP2 and Win Server '03. I even
tried creating a new domain user and dumping a local acct's profile from
Vista to be its roaming profile, but still no luck. I have seen many similar
posts on here, but no solutions. Btw, yes, the folders do have the correct
permissions (otherwise they wouldn't work on any box) and the AD's DNS server
is listed as the primary DNS server on the Vista box. Any help (or a public
release of a fix ) would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

I'm not having this problem; HOWEVER, instead of using existing roaming
profiles, its (well Windows 2003 Server is the it) creating profiles named
username.V2 and then uses the profile data it stores there.

The profile folders Vista creates on the Vista workstations in the Users
folder are not named in the same manner, but instead retain the simple
username without the appended dot V2.

Probably of no help, sorry...

My roaming profile does not load too. Vista loads TEMP profile. All changes
are lost when I log off.
Server: Windows 2003
Client: Vista Beta 2

Error log on client has these two events recorded:

first,
Event ID: 1521
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. Possible causes of this error
include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem
persists, contact your network administrator.

DETAIL - Access is denied.

then,
Event ID: 1511
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary
profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.

Any help in solving this is appreciated.
