Hello
I can not seem toacces the UserProfile folders as an administrator on the server. The Profile is copied from the workstation to the UserProfile folder on the server but administrator cant access this folder.
So I want to do it configure it again.
This is the new situation
I have created a folder named UserProfiles on the server.
Drive G: Folder UserProfiles
G:\UserProfiles
Which share and NTFS permissions do i have to set in this situation.

Take ownership and then set permissions. Just a suggestion, if you're an Administrator and don't know how to access files/shares, you really should buy a book on Domain Administration.
Life's more painless for the brainless.

Thanks for the reply. I am actually practicing for my college exams and i had set all permissions as stated in the book but i as an admin couldnt access the profile folders of the users.
I took ownership and could access the folders.
Thanks again, Cheers
