Roaming Profiles

Comment:
I have 33 users now using roaming profiles. Recently I added 2 new users by copying an existing user in the Active Director and changing the user name once pasted into AD. The problem is neither of these two new users can logon with a roaming profile. They both get the error message "unable to locate Roaming Profile loging on with local profile.
When comparing the properties of either of these two users and an already existing user that is working with no problems, they are exactly the same with the exception of the user name.
Why are these two unable to logon with a romaming profile? In the properties of the user under the profile tab, the path is correct.
Can anybody help? I am at wits end with this problem. If anybody needs more specific info please let me know.

Did you create the proper home directory for each user and set permissions appropriately?

Yeah, I think that the problem would be that though they are the same they might not have the same permissions. Are you tying to direct them to one user profile or have you created seperate profiles for both of them?
