cannot access roaming profile folders created on the server

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I cannot access the roaming profile folders created on the server as
Administrator. I looked into setting up access using Group Policy but that's
not working either. The only way that I can get into roaming profile folders
is by taking ownership. Is there another method that I can use to gain
access to those folders?

Thanks in advance,

No - you have to take ownership & set the security as you wish. Do this
after hours, if you're going to make mass changes, or you may end up with
angry users.

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q268019& for
more info.

Thank you for responding. My next question on this topic is this, will it
cause a problem to existing and new roaming profiles by taking ownership as
Administrator on all folders created by roaming profiles.

Yes - you need to take ownership as the Administrators group, not
Administrator - and then make sure you set the NTFS security properly
(Administrators & System=full control, and then either users, or the
individual user, Full Control) and that the settings are inherited by the
child folders.
