Can anybody help me with this very frustrating problem,whenever I created a
roaming profile for one of my client users, my administrator account always
gets locked out of the share.

To create the profile I create a share on the server, I remove the everyone
group(remove inheritance), I add the administrator and the domain users
group and grant them full control to the share, and same for the NTFS
permissions. I then go to active dir and put in the path to one of my users
such as eg \\server\roamingprofiles\%username% which is fine. The profile
is updated to the server and it works, however whenever I as the domain
admin tries to access the folder containing the userprofile from on the
server I get ACCESS DENIED and I cannot delete the folder??

Can anybody help me with this, why am I getting locked out of the profile
folder on the server? To get in I have to spend ages changing the ownership
and going to every folder and deleting them one by one!

Thx for you help

I seem to remember that you need to create the profile folder on the server
BEFORE THE USER LOGS IN, then the appropriate permissions can be set by
yourself.
