Roaming Profile RDS + NetApp

Hello everybody.
I need some help with a problem on my RDS 2008r2 project, which has to deal with Roaming Profile and inheritable permissions from parent folder.
We have NetApp storage and through GPO, we want to store these users roaming profiles into NetApp share.
Ok, so far the idea is good, we already use it for XenApp 6.5, and it work perfectly. But, for any reason, RDS roaming profiles are not working as we want.
So, we have a folder (on netapp share) named ProfilesRDS, where the roaming profiles are saved, and this ProfileRDS folder has 4 or 5 AD security groups.
When a user logs in, his profile is created with USER, NETAPPNAME\Administrators and System, has Full Control of the user profile. The administrators groups from parent folder are not inheritable to the profile...
Policys like "Add the administrators security group to roaming user profiles", "Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profiles Folder" are enabled.
Does anybody ever seen these before? Anyone that can give me a help?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi Rafael,
Thanks for your post in Windows Server Forum.
As far my research, the setting which you have applied will take affect when creating a new profile only. Profiles created before this policy settings was in place lack the entry for “Administrators.” Also check
this thread for granting permission for roaming profile. In addition
check beneath articles for more information.
1.  How to Configure a File Server for Hosting User Profiles
2.  Windows Server 2003 checks for pre-created roaming profile folders when you make a roaming user profile
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

  • Roaming Profiles Not Working

    Hello, we recent migrated our file server to Server 2012 R2. Everything went smooth until I noticed users' account we're getting their Roaming Profiles when launching a Citrix application/session. They're being logged into the Citrix servers with the
    'TEMP' profile. Upong logon, I'm seeing the error below thrown in the App logs of the Citrix server:
    Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient
    security rights.
    DETAIL - Access is denied.
    Each user account's 'Profile' and 'Remote Desktop Services Profile' tab are using the same UNC path to their profile folder. I've checked the share permissions of the parent folder which I gave 'Everyone' 'Full Control' and I've checked the security permissions
    of the users' folders. Each user has 'Full Control' of their folder. What's a bit stranger is that I also have their account configured to map a drive to the same profile folder which works when they launch an application in Citrix. They can browse the folder,
    create sub-folders and files, etc.. So while the error suggests that it could be a permissions issue, the fact they can do all this within the mapped drive contradicts that idea. Also, my Domain Admin account is able to access my roaming profile which would
    also suggest a permissions issue, but like I said, I think all the share and security permissions are fine.
    Is there anything else that may be affecting why the profiles aren't being copied to the Citrix servers and causing this error? Is there a Local Security Policy setting that would weigh in on this? We do harden these servers so I was wondering if it's something
    of that nature?

  • File Associations in 2012 R2 RDS Server using Roaming Profiles

    Background Information
    We recently moved from using 2008 R2 RDS servers to 2012 R2 RDS Servers. All of our users
    have roaming profiles. When we migrated from the old terminal servers to the
    new terminal servers, the users got completely new profiles. The only thing
    moved from their old profiles were documents and items on their desktops. We
    have multiple PDF viewers/editors installed on our RDS servers. Mostly due to
    the cost difference between Adobe Acrobat and other, cheaper products that a
    lot of our users can get away with using that don't need the functionality of
    Adobe Acrobat.
    The Problem
    Ever since moving to the new 2012 R2 RDS servers, whenever our users log off terminal
    server, the next time they log in their default PDF Viewer association doesn't
    load, and they have to go through the process of choosing a default PDF viewer.
    This only occurs when there's more than one PDF viewer installed on the server.
    We've tested it with only one PDF viewer program, and the setting remains after
    logging off and back on. The problem we've found is that the registry key that
    houses the default user choice:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice
    when set during the session, to Adobe Acrobat 11 for example, reads as such
    inside that registry key. For example, the Progid key will say
    Acrobat.Document.11 and this setting will persist until the user logs off. Upon
    logging off and back on to the terminal servers, if you look at that same
    Progid key, it has been converted in to a Hash value, and the Operating System
    is unable to read the hashed value and determine what that user's default PDF
    Viewer choice is, causing them to have to go through the process of setting it
    again.
    Things we've tried
    We created a GPO that runs a script that exports the registry key upon log off that has
    the non-hashed value, and have it set to import that value on log on. However,
    by default this registry key has the DENY WRITE permission applied to it, so
    when the system tries to import the registry key through the login script it is
    unable to do so. 
    Summary
    This issue only started happening once we moved over to 2012 R2 RDS servers. It only
    occurs for users using Roaming Profiles. It only occurs when we have multiple
    PDF Viewers installed on the servers. Any insight on why this is happening or
    how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

    I would use GPP to push the value, 'not hashed'. You can give right to the registry too, so like adding everyone group to that registry branch. (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/cc753092.aspx)

  • Default printer, in RDS W2012 roaming profile, disappear sometimes

    Hello!
    We have a problem with the defaults printers in my roaming profiles. We have an AD W2012 and my domain users can connect to a RDS farm in W2012 too. Obviously the roaming profile works fine. In other W2012 server, I have a printServer, with all the company
    printers installed. The user only must to add any printer listed in the directory to his session, because the server already have the drivers installed correctly.
    The problem starts when during the day, in any moment, the user lost the default printer, he is printing 3 or 4 followed documents, and can lost 1, a message appear: The user XXX don't have any default printer in his profile!! This occurs in every moment,
    but not always. Others users can print during all the day without any error, but at the next day they can get the error other time.
    We dont' see any error, about this in the event viewer.
    Thanks.

    Hi Pedro,
    Would you please let me confirm whether this issue occurred after anything changed (install any third-party
    application or update)? Or did this issue occurred suddenly?
    à
    he is printing 3 or 4 followed documents, and can lost 1, a message appear: The user XXX don't have any default printer in his profile
    It’s an odd issue. Just check if have new print drivers which need to be installed.
    If has any detail, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Migration from Roaming Profiles to User Profile Disks - RDS 2012 (R2)

    Hi, I'm currently in the process of tweaking our RDS 2012 environment and have a question I hope someone can help me with....
    The users who log onto the Collection are currently using roaming profiles stored on a 2008 R2 file server, but I'd like to move them onto User Profile Disks (looks to be a lot of pro's to it). Is there a way to migrate users profiles from roaming profiles
    to User Profile Disks? We already have a lot of users on the farm with roaming profiles and I'm guessing if UPD is enabled, it will only take effect with new users? I need to do this without too much hassle if possible
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Paul,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Sorry to disappoint you, but you cannot able to move\migrate the roaming user profile to new User profile disk on server 2012\R2. You need to move them manually. Please refer below thread.

  • Local forest roaming profiles with remote forest users within RDS?

    We have been using RDS for some time now. New users get a new profile from (*1)"\\domain_1\netlogon\Default User.v2" when they first logon to a RDS session host. Ones that is done, the profile is becomes roaming profile that is stored on (*2) "\\some_serverx_in_domain_1\profiles$\%username%".
    (Note, this last setting can be set in 4 different places. We used a GPO and used the Remote Desktop Services section to set it) 
    So far, no rocket science. Now...
    Recently we've been asked to allow user accounts from another (trusted) forest (domain_2) to our RDS environment. These users are able to logon to our RDS environment but they do not get a fresh profile from our (*1) default profile location. Instead, they
    get a default profile from the RDS session host and this new profile does not become roaming so it is not saved to our (*2) location. How can we force the foreign accounts to get a roaming profile within domain_1 without having to change anything outside our
    administrative border?  
    Note: Their logon servers do not have a "Default User.v2" in their netlogon and their roaming profile settings are set in the AD properties for the user accounts. The roaming profiles they use are pre-2008 and thus unusable for our 2008-R2 RDS environment.
    We are not looking for cross-forest roaming profile functionality. We just want foreign accounts to use our roaming profile setup. Please Help! 

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    Make sure the trusted forest user have permission to access the Default User profile. In addition, ensure the following policy was enabled:
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy\Allow Cross-Forest User Policy and Roaming User Profiles
    Allows User based policy processing, Roaming User Profiles and User Object logon scripts for cross forest interactive logons. This setting affects all user accounts interactively logging on to a computer in a different forest when a Cross Forest or 2-Way
    Forest trust exists.

  • 2012 R2 RDS - Your roaming profile was not completely synchronized - Event ID 1509 1504 - After installing Update 1

    In my deployment I have 2 brokers, and 3 session hosts. I finally installed Update 1 and all following updates available (the ones that were available about two weeks before). Also updated Forefront to v4.3 (SCCM managed).
    I have roaming TS profiles enabled with folder redirection and also policy set to "delete local copy of roaming profiles" after logout. Profile folders are on a network share (Server 2003). Things were working ok until Update 1 and rest of updates
    got installed.
    I started getting events 1509 and 1504 when users logoff and the screen displays "Your roaming profile was not completely synchronized" message briefly. The only file affected so far is ntuser.pol.
    There are two variations of the event, one claiming it cannot write the local server copy to fileshare, and the opposite, from file share to c:\users\username.
    ====
    Windows cannot copy file \\server\profileshare\username.V2\ntuser.pol to location C:\Users\username\ntuser.pol. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights. 
     DETAIL - Access is denied.
    =====
    Windows cannot copy file C:\Users\username\ntuser.pol to location \\server\profileshare\username.V2\ntuser.pol. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights. 
     DETAIL - Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
    ========== 
    Permissions have not changed. The only thing changing is the Updates installed on the servers. I tried running with AV realtime protection off, no change. Ntuser.pol is already on the exclude list in Forefront.
    This is happening on my test server and 2 prd servers. Any ideas. I looked for related hotfixes but not coming up with anything.
    The whole reason for installing Update 1 was so that we can continue to receive security updates...

    Hi,
    Thanks for your comment.
    When a roaming profile user logs off, the NTuser.dat file is always updated on the roaming profile share. The corresponding NTuser.pol file is only updated if the timestamp of the local copy that was created at logon is newer than the copy found in the roaming
    profile share. A synchronization problem may occur if a user with a roaming profile logs on to multiple client computers at the same time. This can eventually cause policy settings to be applied incorrectly. 
    For example, if the Group Policy loopback feature is applied on one of the client computers, the NTuser.dat file on the roaming profile share may contain loopback policy settings that are not present in the NTuser.pol file. If this problem occurs, the loopback
    policy settings that are targeted at one client computer may be unexpectedly applied to a user who logs on to a different client computer.
    So please check the permission or group policy which you have applied and also whether you are performing multiple connection at a time.

  • Migrating roaming profile from Windows 2000 TS to Windows 2008 R2 RDS

    We have one TS running on Windows 2000. There are over 200 TS users. We are planning to migrate it to Windows 2008 R2. What's the easy way to migrate the roaming profile? Base on this article

  • AppV 5 slow to refresh with roaming profile (no redirects) but fast with local profile

    Hi,
    I have an issue I can't get thought out. I have an AppV5 SP3 full infra, with SMB share and local caching of packages enabled. Everything works from a functional level. However I have an issue where users with a roaming profile get a very slow AppV refresh
    during login.
    I created a few testaccounts, a few with local profile and a few with roaming profiles. For these testusers there are NO folder redirects. The only difference between them is local profile or roaming profile.
    When I login with a local-profile user initially, the AppV client rather slowly refreshes the applications and shortcuts. It generates quite some CPU load on the RDS host, but as soon as the shortcuts are placed everything is fine. When I log that user off,
    and log in again, the shortcuts are there immediately and I can immediately start the applications (Office 2010 for example). Blazing fast. Also when logging in, the refresh-UI is there for about half a second, it really flashes and it's done.
    Then with a testuser with roaming profile, the initial refresh is about the same. But when I logoff that user and login again, it's all very slow. The shortcuts are there but blank initially, it takes about 5-10 seconds to get the correct icon. It takes
    much longer before the refresh actually starts (sometimes up to 30 seconds after login), and it takes 5-10 seconds to do the refresh, with 100% cpu load on the thread AppVclient.exe is running on. Also right after loging in when the shortcuts are blank they
    don't work until they get the proper icon. WHen everything is refreshed it works all fine though. It's just painfully slow at start.
    I don't understand this. I can reproduce this every single time. Without folder redirects I don't see the difference between roaming and local profile from AppV perspective, as the roaming profile is of course copied to the server and in that sense the server
    just works with a local copy anyway.
    Anyone encountered this, and how to troubleshoot, or better fix this?

    So is the fact that there is a 5-10 second delay during refresh actually an issue? What I mean by that is - are any users comparing the local profiles with roaming profiles experience, or complaining that the delay is there?
    Roaming profiles and Folder redirection are of course very simple to configure; however for the best user experience I recommend managing profiles with a real profile management solution.
    If you have MDOP, then you'll also have access to UE-V. You've mentioned your environment is RDS, which sadly doesn't get UE-V, even though you have App-V.
    Here are some resources on UE-V + App-V and what's required when managing App-V with roaming users:

  • Slow logon for roaming profiles on Server 2012 R2.

    Hey all,
    We have migrated Windows Server 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. After this, roaming profiles began to take 7-8 mins to 15-16 mins to logon to the 2012 R2 RDHS. Same roaming profiles have no problems logging on other RDS servers running Server 2008 R2.
    All updates are installed. All RDS related HotFixes have been applied. Server 2012 R2 only got RDSH role activated. It's a domain environment and AD role is on a physical DC. This is a mixed OS environment for clients.
    Local users have no problems logging on. Roaming profiles have no problems logging back in day after the first logon - The very first logon took a long time for them.
    Profiles stored on an SSD NAS device. The device doesn't support SMB3 protocol. Could this be why?
    Also when we check Event Viewer, we see "Event ID 5: Kernel-General :: {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\........\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost." But again,
    same profiles have no problem logging on Server 2008 R2.
    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and advices.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Bruce,
    >>After this, roaming profiles began to take 7-8 mins to 15-16 mins to logon to the 2012 R2 RDHS.
    Before going further, I want to further confirm if this happens when the users log onto the server first time or all the time.  Besides, does this happen to all domain users logging onto the server?
    >>"Event ID 5: Kernel-General :: {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\........\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost."

  • Prevent redirected printer from roaming in RDS

    Whenever users logon on remotely from home their default home printer is redirected which allows them to print which is fine.  The only issue is that when they get back to the office, their default printer is now lost and the first one on the list of
    printers (Adobe PDF is now chosen as the default.  It seems that the default printer reg. key from the remote session is being saved in their roaming profile.  We also use Citrix to logon remotely and this is not an issue because Citrix has their
    own printer policy that prevents his from happening.  Is there a log off script or a GP setting that can be used to fix the issue that I am having?

    RDS - server 2008 R2

    Hi GSsystems,
    Based on my understanding, the GPO which configured default printer works well when users logon on remotely, however the default printer is lost when users get back to the office. Right?
    Accoding to my knowledge, the behavior of changing Default
    Printer after RDP-in/out is shown as below:
    Logon, client RDP into the server, Remote Desktop service will query the
    default printer from Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Device
    RDPCLIP.exe would save the Default
    Printer settings to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\DefaultPrinter
    Remote Desktop service will edit the Default
    Printer registry, and then will call Print Spooler service to set
    Default Printer to the one redirected.
    Logoff
    Remote Desktop service will query and call Print Spooler service to delete the redirected
    default printer.
    RDPCLIP.exe will load the Default
    Printer settings from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\DefaultPrinter
    RDPCLIP.exe will restore the Default
    Printer registry key based on the one it previously stored
    Call Print Spooler service to update the Default
    Printer
    In this case, I would suggest to set the option “Always use the same printer as my default printer”. You can set this option via GUI or registry key. For your information, please refer to the following links:

  • How do I configure roaming profiles to not apply to Domain Admins?

    Hi,
    I have a setup (Windows 2012 R2 on all servers) where roaming profiles and re-directed folders are applied through GPO to our RDS servers.
    We decied to change this so only users, and not Domain Admins will have these settings applied.
    Re-directed folders is a user setting, so that was changed easily, but the roaming profiles is applied to computer object.
    So my question is; how do I configure roaming profiles only for some users (or a security group) and not for Domain Admins?

    Sorry, this is not acheivable, for computer part policy settings apply to computer accounts, regardless of which user logs onto the computers.

    roaming profiles to the new servers before they are joined to the farm.  Can I do it per AD user settings to test things out on a few users and log into all three servers? If I make the change globally I don't want to have problems on the production
    server for all users. 

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
    You can specify a Remote Desktop Services-specific profile path and home folder for a user connecting to an RD Session Host server. This profile and home folder will only be used for Remote Desktop Services sessions. You should assign a separate profile for
    Remote Desktop Services sessions because many of the common options that are stored in profiles, such as screen savers and animated menu affects, are not desirable when using Remote Desktop Services.
    You can manually configure these settings on the Remote Desktop Services Profile tab on the Properties sheet of a user account in the Local Users and Groups snap-in or the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.
    You can also use the following Group Policy settings to configure these settings:
    - Set RD User Home Directory
    - Set path for RD Roaming User Profile
    - Use mandatory profiles on the RD Session Host server
    The Group Policy settings can be found in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Profiles
