A Roming profile seem to be messed up...

[Kelvin Beaton]

I've setup a net user on the network. I messed up the account the first
time, so deleted the accound in Active Directories and deleted the profile
folder on the network, and the profile off the computer, in hopes of getting
the system to forget about the user.

I have the profile stored at \\monster\users\CLanier\profile. and her My
Documents stored at \\monster\users\CLanier but the user goes into their my
documents it says "Administrators My Documents".

From the network I put her files in her \\monster\users\CLanier\My Documents
folder, but it seems since she is seeing the Administrator My Documents she
can't see her My Documents.

Her profile looks correct, so how do I get her to see her owen documents?

I have a GPO that redirects to a root path of \\monster\users and it seem to
work for everyone else.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Back up a few steps. You should never store profiles in the home directory.
Keep them entirely separate. Create a parent profile share like d:\profiles,
share it as profiles$ (hidden), and set the share permissions so
everyone=full control. Set the NTFS permissions as admin, system, users=full
control.

Then in the user's ADUC properties, put \\server\profiles$\%username% and
have the user log into the domain on their computer once, then log out.
Their profile should be created on the server automatically, with the
permissions modified so that only they have rights to it (you can change
this later if you need to).

Use folder redirection in your group policy so that My Documents is
redirected to a subfolder of the user's home directory.
