Why does Windows 7 make a UserName.V2 profile folder when that's not specified in the AD account

We're still a XP/2003 shop, and I'm testing out Windows 7 with our Roaming Profiles and folder redirection.  So far everything looks to be working great, but have a question regarding the profile.  This test user has
\\Server\Profiles$\TestUser in their AD account as the profile path.  That folder was empty before logging on to the Windows 7 machine.  When I logged off the Windows 7 machine,
\\Server\Profiles$\TestUser is still empty, but now there is a
\\Server\Profiles$\TestUser.V2 which appears to have the users profile in it.
Can someon explain why it didn't use the folder that already existed?  Also, once we move to 7, will I have to go through each AD account and append a .V2 to the end of each profile path?

Hi,
You can create the .v2 folder manually or let the user create automatically when logging on.

    Why does my computer keep asking to be authorized when i put my iphone on the charger?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
    See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Why does my bookmarks toolbar start hiding my bookmarks when i add more bookmarks to the toolbar? how do i make all of them show and not have a drop down menu?

    i had recently installed new firefox and instead of my 20 bookmarks showing up all in the 1 toolbar, only 10 are shown and the rest are hidden to the right with the ">>" button.
    how the heck do i change it back to what i previously had? this is driving crazy! i want them all to show and not have to click the ">>" button and go through the drop down menu

    Removes text associated with your bookmarks and folders and gives you placement controls over bookmarks extending the functionality and usability of the Bookmarks Toolbar. Your Bookmarks Toolbar is now very Roomy and Smart!

  • Why does my web service web.xml reference a class that is not a servlet?

    In jDeveloper 10.1.3, I created the simplest web service I could think of. I created a HelloWorld class that has one method that accepts a name as a parameter and returns "Hello " + name. Using the wizards, I was able to get it to run just fine in my development environment. However, if I generate a WAR file and deploy it to Tomcat 5.5, it chokes on the web.xml. Here it is...
    <pre>
    <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
    version="2.4">
    <servlet>
    <description>Web Service MyHelloWorldServiceSoapHttpPort</description>
    <display-name>Web Service MyHelloWorldServiceSoapHttpPort</display-name>
    <servlet-name>MyHelloWorldServiceSoapHttpPort</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.dex.b2b.HelloWorld</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>MyHelloWorldServiceSoapHttpPort</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>MyHelloWorldServiceSoapHttpPort</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    </web-app>
    </pre>
    The servlet-class value is my simple HelloWorld class, not a servlet. How is this suppose to run, if the servlet-class value is not a servlet? It certainly did not run in Tomcat 5.5. I can't get it to run on Oracle App Server 10.1.2 either.
    Thanks

    Hi fellrunningpictures-
    Picasa web albums shows you that message because they are not fully compatible with the latest version of Firefox. I would recommend contacting Picasa to encourage them to become fully compatible. I found a link for contacting them here:

    Hope that helps.

  • Why does itunes always show my iphone as connected when it is not

    When I plug in one of our Apple devices to sync to our home computer, etc., iTunes shows the device I want to sync, but it also always shows my iphone as plugged in too. (At the top where it says Devices). Not a big deal, but is there a way to remove this instead of always hitting the eject button?

    Do you have wifi sync enabled for those devices?
    Select the device, click the Summary tab.
    If it is enabled, there's no need to eject the device, even with the cable plugged in.

  • Why does my preordered album say it's downloaded when it's not on my list

    I purchased a track from an album which wasn't out until the end of aug then preorderd the remaining album. It now says I have downloaded the remaining tracks but they do not show on my purchased list. I have tried to purchase again but it says they already downloaded. Help?

    Get OmniDisk Sweeper and run it as root. This will allow you to see the size of any other users' home folders.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/
    To run as root, copy/paste into Terminal in Utilities.
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Then hit return. After a scary warning about using the sudo prefix, you will be prompted for your admin password. You won't see anything on the screen as you type it in. Then hit return again.
    Also, from the Finder menu, use Go>Go To Folder and enter  /volumes. With all external drives unmounted and disconnected, you should only be seeing your startup disk as an alias.
    Another possibility is your logs have become huge from repeated logging of error messages from some runaway process or app. Open Console in Utilities to check that out.

  • Why is a line appearing on my After Effects composition that is not present in the original .ai file

    There is a small black line that cuts through an area of my AE composition.  The composition is made up of layers from an original AI file.  When I go to edit the original, there is no line present, but when I go back to the AE comp, it is still there.  Any ideas on how to rememdy this glitch?

    Here is the screenshot of the entire comp panel.  This is the first time I've encountered this problem.  I went into AI to check my layers to make sure there were no hidden lines.  Pressing "U" twice didn't show anything other than a change in position.  I have made any changes to this particular layer.  However, it must be something on the layers because when I move it, the line stays with it.  When looking at the layer in the project panel, the line shows there as well.  I went into illustrator and added a box on top of it to see if the line would show, but it didn't, however, when I copied the letters in the AI layer and added them above the original ones, the line still appeared in the AE.  I'm assuming it is something to do with the letters, or perhaps the pattern I used.  It's just funny that it only shows in AE and it's not affecting any other layers.  The letters have been outlined and expanded in AI and are all on separate sublayers.

  • Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

    Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
    As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
    - Mike

    Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
    I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
    Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
    What can I do now?
    Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

  • Why does windows have 64-bit iTunes but not mac?

    I can't believe it. I searched the archives here and someone said because most people don't have 64-bit compatible machines. Then why does Windows get separate versions but not the native OS?
    I'm running audio hardware optimized for 64-bit (drivers) but the sound quality of iTunes is worse in 64-bit than in 32-bit.
    Anyone have any knowledge when 64-bit is going to be released?

    iTunes is only 32 bit for Windows OS and Mac OS.
    The 64bit version for Windows simply includes 64 bit drivers. The application itself is only 32 bit.

  • Why does Windows 7 keep closing down Adobe reader?

    Why does Windows 7 keep closing down Adobe reader?

    Three possibilities
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.

  • Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    It doesn't.
    When you import  Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.
