User Profile Issue

I have 20 remote users who VPN into our company and use TS 2K. I have had a
problem for awhile, but it seems it has gotten worse.

First off, I have users who have desktops internaly and users who do not
(remote users). I do not and am not worried or needing the profiles to roam.
I would though like for the profile to store on the server. Ideally I would
assume that if a user logs off, he/she could log back on at anytime and get
his/her local profile on the server. That is where my problem is. Seems that
my server losses the profile. The profile will no longer show up in the
"C:\Documents and Settings" folder but can still be found in the
"TS_Profiles" folder that I have on the D: drive.

Example: Bill logs in and uses his desktop. He has his profile in Outlook
and works in Word from day to day. He saves a few documents to the desktop.
A few days later, he goes to log in and it says it can not find his profile.
He logs into a TEMP profile, resets up his outlook and can no longer see his
documents he had on the desktop. Or Woarse, it says "Windows cannot log you
on because the profile connat be loaded. Contact your network Administrator.
Detail - Access is denied"

Any ideas?
 
Hi Adam,

Thank you for your post.

This terminal service setting is controller by the "Terminal Services
Profile" tab of the user's properties in Active Directory. I am not sure
what you have configured on this tab. Could you please let me know the
detailed configurations on this tab?

Normally, if you need to centralize the management of these terminal
profiles, you can specify a UNC path as \\server\profile as "Profile Path".
Please make sure the user has the permission to access this network share.
Therefore, this use can create and save its personal profile at that share
and you can load this profile on next logon.

Please check this information and then let me know how it works. I look
forward to hearing from you.
