Hi there all,
So, I have a server on a domain, and I would like to use it as a server for storing profile data for my user base, but it is not the primary domain controller. So, I have the roaming profiles all pointing to the share location, but when I try to log on, it just says that the profile could not be loaded.

This is obviously because the profile on the server is not created yet. Now, I know I need to make a default profile, but I haven't the faintest idea where I'm supposed to put it so that the systems will know where to get it.

Am I correct in my thinking of how this all works? It should automagically create the profile directory by filling it with the default, once it has a default, right?

Thanks much guys. I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

Where you place the location of the profile to be stored on the profile TAB in AD try this.

\\SERVER NAME\PROFILES\USERNAME

OR something to that effect.

The profile location is globally set to use environmental variables.
\\%ProfileServer%\%ProfileShare%\%UserName%

I have the environmental vars set to my desktops and if I type in everything before %UserName%, I get to the folder successfully, so I think the permissions are set right.
