This has been annoying me all night. I added a new user to my domain that is a non-administrator and I have the profile path set to a folder within a share. The problem I am facing is that unless a user is in the administrators group (or one of it's sub-groups), I get a access denied error when trying to create a file within the user's profile folder. I set the NTFS permissions to full control in that folder for the user. Still the same problem. The only way I can get it to work is to put the user in the administrators group which is NOT what I want to do here. I have tried it from multiple clients with no luck. My permissions for the folder are: Administrators: Full Control, Owner(which is set as the user): Full Control, and the User: Full Control.

Are you trying to create the file from a workstation while logged in as the user? Do you have a domain running Active Directory? If you run compmgmt.msc and go to users and groups, users, under what group is the new user? Power users should be the choice.

The user's folder should be a share on it's own. Then, set the permissions accordingly and set not to inherit from parent. Life's more painless for the brainless.

Yes I am trying to create a file from the workstation on the server while logged in as a user. It also cannot save the user's roaming profile. I am running a Domain with Active Directory. The user does not show up under computer management on client machines. And I tried making the profile folder a share also, but still no luck.

try like this profilepath: \\servername\sharedfolder\%username% it maybe solve your problem....if it is not possbile ..revert back to me naga naga

Add the domain user to the local machine. That has helped me many times.

I figured it out. I was using \\Server\share\username instead of \\Server\username. Thanks for the help everyone.
