I think the secret lies in the new way permissions are being handled to "improve" security.
Try accessing the real Users folder from within "Documents and Settings". One of my associates found several ways to gain permissions to the "Users" folder on Google. From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 2:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Question on "Users" folder on Windows 2008 server Correct, I cannot. This is the "Users" folder on Windows 2008 servers. However Windows won't let you change perms on the Users folder. At least it refuses to do so for me. Is it me or is it sorta dumb that administrators can't administer a server's profiles? Tom >>> William Robbins <[email protected]> 10/4/2010 2:41 PM >>> Ah, gotcha. In that case you will have to either take ownership or add DA to the security on the profiles you wish to access. I'm guessing presently you cannot even view the security tab to verify permissions? - WJR On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 13:37, Tom Miller <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks. I can access the remote profile path, it's just the local profiles that I cannot access. Administrators are already in the GPO to have perms to the profile path. >>> William Robbins <[email protected]> 10/4/2010 2:29 PM >>> I've had similar behavior with our profiles. Tell me, when you look at the folders do you see the lock icon on the folders? What we did was change the GPO settings to add the Administrators security group to the roaming user profile share. as mentioned in this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781862%28WS.10%29.aspx I also found this article useful specifically for 2008: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/2e3 d27cf-38ec-433d-8bee-2a69a73871a5/ - WJR On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 13:23, Tom Miller <[email protected]> wrote: Folks, A few of my XenApp users are having profile issues. I use roaming profiles, and they seem to work, although the local size is always larger than the network profile size (temp files, etc). Anyway I need to access a few of the local profilese on these XenApp (2008 not R2) servers. I get the "access denied" message of course. So I add my domain admin account to the local adminstrators group on the server, but I still can't access the profiles. Do I need to take ownership of the folder? Or am I missing something?
