Hi NetIT, i have users roaming setup in my domain, they are working fine but one of the roaming users having a problem when he sign into one of the new computers I just added it to the network a few days ago, I add 3 new computers to the network, this user only when he sign in in those new computer his roaming profile did not show. thanks Mike

[@mrtrader3661]

when creating new user in DC and add roaming profile to them. When logging in to computer it gives the error "can't sign in to your account" error. If I delete the roaming profile it is working fine! How to solve this issue?

[@windowsdefender7259]

How can i create a account where it's ONLY created in the active directory (and not create another account in the computer of the domain) ?

this configure will carry all the user files even it will login in different computer that is connected in the server?

[@NetITGeeks]

Yes, this GPO will keep the settings attached to the user profile in AD and independent of current logged in device. When a user login to a new device, the settings should be there as it is part of their user profile.

You are welcome.

Hi Thanks for the video, my Server 2022 displays "You're on a metered network. Some apps might work differently to help you save data while on this network" but I am on cable internet. How can i change this to normal network (non metered network) ?

[@NetITGeeks]

There is an option in the Windows settings you can change. Open Settings and type "metered connection" and it should show up. Make sure it is not set to metered connection.

I followed this setup pretty close but when I sign into a AD profile nothing populate in the "Roaming profiles" folder on the server. Any thoughts?

[@NetITGeeks]

I assume you already tried rebooting the client device?

[@YaBoyDave215]

@@NetITGeeks I'll try that now and update my comment. Edit: I restarted and now the folders started populating. Thank you for the tutorial!

Hi, worked for me, but I get Event ID 307 and 304. Wery slow startup after login.

[@NetITGeeks]

Do you have Azure AD and local AD? The Event IDs above are described by Microsoft here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/deployment/event-307-and-304-logged-for-deploying You can ignore these if your setup is not hybrid. But, if your startup is slow, you should look into it. Additionally, it is possible to have slow startup if you have poor network infrastructure such as poorly configured switches, routers, other unsuitable hardware, slow DNS, bandwidth and throughput issues, unusually high rate of packet drops due to poor equipment, etc. If you are running your network in VMs, also check hypervisor network configurations options within the hypervisor software settings.

If I want to sync only user Desktop, how can I do?

[@NetITGeeks]

I will have to look into this because at this time, I have no idea. Have you looked into Microsoft KBs? There maybe a way to do just the Desktop. If there is no GPO to do just a Desktop sync, I think we can use a Windows PowerShell script to get it done. You can launch scripts at startup using a GPO. I have a tutorial on that as well here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGLLfoOQm95sl68si=TOxWqQ7QJzaraxwo

[@Share1Share1]

@@NetITGeeksI don't know about script. But I have one more solution "Desktop Redirection" in GPO. But it is not good. When lose network connection user will not sign in to computer.

[@NetITGeeks]

Thank you for the information on Desktop Redirection GPO options. I will look into this and may create a video tutorial. :)

[@AnthonyGijapon]

can you include sticky notes to roaming profile setup in your AD?

[@NetITGeeks]

Can you explain what do you mean by "sticky notes"? Thanks.

How to include sticky notes to roaming profile by default without changing locations of sticky notes sqlite.

[@anthonylabrador2321]

thanks sir for noticing my question here.

[@NetITGeeks]

I will have to look into this and experiment on VM with the Windows Server. I don't know the answer. Sorry. :(

How to provide rights to admin users to delete unwanted profile?

[@NetITGeeks]

You can create a User Account and then modify Security Groups to give admin privileges. The other option is to modify an existing User Account to give admin privileges. I typically do this using a Security Group based assignments but you can do this directly on each individual User Profile as well.
