Problem with roaming profile and policy

E

Eric Rehder

I cannot get user policy to apply without making the user
a member of Domain Admins in a Windows 2000 DC. (it does
not apply even if user is as a member of Administrators).
I am testing with only one active simple policy called
Test1 with only one enabled feature - it hides all icons
on desktop. It is linked to ou "ouUsers" to which the user
belongs and its policy security = Authenticated Users with
Read and Policy rights.

The user is roaming with a server-based profile in a home
folder to which he has full control (but not ownership) in
a shared folder (UserHome) that has permissions set for
Everyone = full control and same with the folder security.
The roaming profile for this user was initially created by
script doing a file copy from a "template" profile
elsewhere on the server. The user's AD account points to
his home folder profile.

Without being a member of Domain Admins, the user sees
desktop icons even though GPMC actually says this
particular registry setting to hide them was applied. As a
member of Domain Admins, the user does NOT see icons.

I have given permissions everywhere I can think of -
Sysvol is Everyone with full control. Also, when "turned
on", group policies are applied to the client computer
(running XP, sp1) without a problem so the trust
relationships, etc seem to work. I have looked at
Userenv.log when policy does and doesn't work but have
learned nothing.

Can anyone help?

Err...
this might not be right, but maybe you should check
the "template" profile and see if the user is given the
rights to that profile.
