Running Presentation server 4.0 and all of a suddent, users cannot connect to roaming profiles. Our roaming profiles are hosted on a Netapp CIFS share and has worked flawlessly since being moved there. Citrix servers are showing Event ID 1511 & 1521. When we attempt to browse the the profiles we can get there by netbios name, fqdn, and IP so connectivity dosn't seem to be an issue. The perms seem appropriate as well. We also tried the following KB as another forum recommended this (

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935649 ) without success. I tried deleting my roaming profile as this has resolved manny issues for us in the past however now it won't write a new profile for me. Any ideas would really help. We are running W2k3 sp 1 in a 7 server farm.

Hi, was the share moved by someone?  I would start by checking the permissions on the TSProfile share to make sure everyone can write.

All the perms are appropriate. I even tried tweeking my AD account to point to a different share on a windows box and I still have the same problem. On the new share I gave my account full share perms and full ntfs perms. I did the same on the old share to and nothing is working. I'm really at a loss on this one.

Is the Policy Set Path for TS Roaming Profiles still enabled in AD?

I apologize for my ignorance, but where would I check that?

At the OU where your Citrix Servers most likely are.

Computer Configuration
Administrative Templates
Windows Componets
Terminal Services
Set Path for TS Roaming Profiles - open it and make sure it is enabled with the
correct \\servername\sharename for your profiles

OK, thanks. That policy is not configured. We do all of that through ADUC

And just to clarify... you've checked both the SHARE permissions AND the FILE permissions on the share?

Why is it called "Common Sense"? It doesn't seem all that common!

ran the userenv.log and it shows the following:

the profile path that it lists is wrong. Where would I adjust this? in ADUC it shows the correct unc path.

Are you sure there are no Group Policies assigning this? GPO will always override ADUC.

We searched the registry and found a ton of entries with the legacy path to our Roaming Profiles. We corrected these entries and viola, it worked like a champ. What a pain in the a$$. No idea why it did this. Looking forward to upgrading to a new farm.

While the upgrade will no doubt bring some improvements and a fresh start, it may be worth the time to figure out what caused the problem.  I'd hate to go through the effort of building a new farm only to have a similar problem crop up again.
