Env Variable %username% works strange

[Guest]

Hi,
I created a template user from which delegated admins make copy to create
new accounts.
the problem is that when I set that user profiles path like:

\\SciDC01\BSprof$\Bio\%username%\Roaming

the %sername% is NOT resolved to username after copy,it sticks to that
template user's logon name.
but when I set it to:

\\SciDC01\BSprof$\Bio\%username%

everything goes as expected.the %username% is resolved to each newly copied
account's logon name.

why is it like that?I want the first one to work.

Sasi,

That should work fine. We are doing that in many different places. Check if
you have a folder called %username% in Bio folder.

I think I did not make myself clear.
I have a template user named "temp01" from which I make copies to make new
user account.this user has \\SciDC01\BSprof$\Bio\%username%\Roaming
as its roaming profile path and there is NOT a %username% folder in bio;so
as there is documented in many places,windows will resolve the %username% to
"temp01" and creates the folder with that "temp01" name and with proper
permissions.
the problem is that it is documented that if I make copies from this temp01
(say "user01"),the %username% should change to the logon name of the newly
created user (here "user01").but in my case,it is still the old "temp01" name
and is NOT updated upon creating a new copy ,on the newly created user object.
the strange part is that when it is the last phrase in the roaming profiles
path,everything goes as expected,the %username% part is correctly updated to
"user01" and the folder is craeted under "user01" name and so on.but when
there is something after %username% (like %username%\roaming),it is updated
once for the template user and is NOT updated to user01.
