Windows 7 Roaming profiles on Windows Server 2003
Hi there.We have a domain based on w2k3 server. We use roaming profiles and folder redirection, our pc´s are running XP.We are planning to deploy new pc´s with Windows 7. 7 uses a different path for the user profile, I wonder if this could be an issue with the actual profile stored in the server \documents and settings\etc.... If any of you have implemented this scenario, your feedback we´ll be appreciated.Thank in advance.

Win7 cannot load the previous user profiles. It will create a new profile folder on server with name username.V2. http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/b/a/3ba6d659-6e39-4cd7-b3a2-9c96482f5353/Managing%20Roaming%20User%20Data%20Deployment%20Guide.doc

I have a SBS2003 network with 10 new win 7 pc's and roaming profiles set up. The profiles migrated beautifully with only 1 or 2 saying v2. However, I goto a server 2003 network with new win 7 pc's and roaming profiles and they will not roam. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I have read the guide above and haven't firgured that method out yet.
