i have 2K DC and clients are xp professional its going well two days
before i set a roaming profile for some people on that people cant able to
access the outlook because the pst file is not available in the server. I

outlook. and again i disable the roaming profile this time also same problem
is occer. anyone give the solution for this problem i am very thankful to
him.

thanks and regards,

If I'm not mistaken, the folders that the PST files are in are excluded from
the roaming profile. Best bet would be to establish a profile where the PST
file comes from a network drive, but this doesn't do much good because if
the person goes offsite, they would still be w/out the PST file. Not to
mention the fact that Microsoft doesn't support the use of PST file(s) from
network drives.

PS - roaming profiles are ideal for exchange only sites.
 
hai neo,
i created a new user in a roaming profile. i configured the outlook for the
first time then its works(iam able to work in roaming) ,but the when i
change the existing user profile to roaming profile iam not able to locate
the pst file of the user.

regards,
balaji
 
That is to be expected because the folder that the PST is in will not be
replicated back to the server. (Basically anything under \documents and
settings\<userid>\local settings is excluded by default from a roaming
profile. PST files are placed here so they don't copy back. Next machine
you logon to, this file is missing and kaboom... No PST.)

PS - Microsoft does this for a reason. Think of the problems that might
occour... eg. Data corruption, Lengthy logoff to copy large PST files back,
..etc
