Homes can't copy folder marked "System" - 2005/06/22 15:24
Okay, I suppose I'm doing something a little weird here, but I set up new users with a custom roaming profile that I normally manually copy into each account.
I don't want the users messing with their roaming profile, so I've set the folder to be marked with the System and Hidden attributes via the command prompt ATTRIB command:
| Code: |
attrib "Windows NT 5.0 Workstation Profile"
SH Windows NT 5.0 Workstation Profile
|
By doing this it is treated as a Windows protected folder and only shows up if you tell Win 2000/XP to show protected files, which our users can't do. 
I've normally been copying this and a few other items into each new account by hand, and I've been wiping the accounts each summer with batch scripts, so this method is working for me.
However, I've been testing out Home v3.04.02, and it is upset by my weird attributes on the folder. It fails to copy the files for some reason..
Student.2006.Students.schooldistrict
Repair/Update/Create Homedir
Set Homedirectory attribute
Create directory: SERVERVOL1UsersStudents2006Student success
Add trustee and Attributes success
set userspace success
copying default directory structure
Error: Cannot open file "I:UsersUser ProfilesStudent ProfileWindows NT 5.0 Workstation Profile". Access is denied
Meanwhile I am able to copy the files, logged into the same account as Home is running from.
