@gjacobse : What about just using Microsoft's USMT then? It's a little more difficult to use but accomplishes the same thing as Forenzit's tool.

Just curious, when you chose UPD, did you choose to store all settings or just certain folders?

Some applications don't play nicely with roaming profiles.

UPDs mount at the usual C:\Users\user.name and the applications can't tell a difference.

Right. But, only when the user is logged in. After they logout, that path doesn't exist. I am trying to figure out how to work around that for adding the custom (for each user) erp shortcut on their desktop in their session.

Add the shortcut to C:\Users\Public\Desktop.
That way it will always show up on each user Desktop.

This would be nice and easy, but each user has a custom shortcut- It has a workstation ID in the target path.

Create a script that creates the shortcut each user Desktop and append the workstation id in the target path.

I've have used that ProfileWiz before by ForensiT, works really well.

Rebooted - profile created.

@travisdh1 Zabbix is a monitoring solution you're probably thinking of another product, probably Zentyal I would guess.

I bet you're right. I think it's a good thing I wasn't trying to fix things Friday, I would've just made things much worse!

"I'll jus treinstall Zabbix here and get everything back up and... hey what the crap is this?!"

Folders in that list that don't have the double folder within a folder icon are not OUs. As such GPO's don't apply to objects in them.

learned this the hard way a long time ago.

I guess I don't understand what this means. What icon are you talking about?

Missed this.

Ok thanks, that makes more sense.

Isn't this a client who was fired? Problem fixed!

Yup... unfortuneatley the client refused to put in the hardware and required all updates to all machines be shut off, and requested all machines be rolled back from 10 that he hated....

No - User accounts are 'left' so that is connection to the AD / DC is lost, then the user can still log on.

That's not totally true, all profiles files are left, that doesn't mean you can still login to it necessarily. There's no process for AD to talk to the local computer to tell it the user was removed. It is just a directory service, The local computer has to request to login to the account. There is no method AD to tell computers anything changed without them requesting.

Actually - yes. Yes it was.

That alone probably explains most of the issues. They do so many dumb things...

FTFY

Julian is around now and working on the Gravatar issue which appears to be "fixed."

@Dashrender Eons ago... http://sillydog.org/narchive/full4.php

It was actually pretty good too...
