Roaming profile not copied to server on log-off

Hello,

I have joined a Windows 2003 (AD) domain successfully. I can log in to the
domain accounts on the local machine.

When I log in, I do NOT receive an error which says my "profile could not be
loaded properly", and on the server profiles share I DO see that a
"<username>.V2" directory is created by the Vista host with permissions that
make the share fully accessible to the user only. At this stage the
directory is empty.

After logging off, the directory remains empty - no profile data was saved.
Windows XP clients are working fine. I do not receive any error messages
during logout.

The client is Windows Vista Ultimate OEM.

The only error I receive is an information message referring to
"TrustedInstaller" not listening on an event hook. This message occurs
during login, and is not repeated during log out.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be most grateful. I am out of ideas now.

Kind regards,
Elliot.
 
I have the exact same issue. Other Vista clients successfully copy
back roaming profiles. Anyone have any ideas?
 
After a long thread with Microsoft themselves, it looks like there was an
issue with an ATI driver not exiting cleanly, and thus not allowing the
profile to unload. Most annoying was that the only error message we obtained
was the output from a profile trace (published in obfuscated form and MS
needs to translate), but nonetheless the profile would not unload cleanly.

The workaround was to permanently disable the ATI External Event service -
and I have yet to see any ill-effects as a result.

I'm now following this up with ATI directly.

If it's not the ATI service that is causing your issue, run MSCONFIG and
disable all of the unnecessary services and applications that start at login
and try that.

M.
