i support several standard edition windows 2003 servers.

While creating new users with roaming profiles and group policies, i have
found i do not have access to the new users' roaming profile directory. So i
have been logging into the server as the new user with mstsc, browsing to
their roaming profile directory (while logged in as that user i do not get
the "access denied" message), and granting the administrator's group full
control permissions to it. Then i can view it and midify it while logged in
as an administrator.

HOWEVER, during this procedure of mine, i have to log in and out several
times, and after about the 3rd to 4th time, the login procedure hangs and
never finishes.

then i cannot log in as anybody (even if i try locally from the server's own
keyboard).
the only way i can resolve this is to restart the entire server.

is there another way to resolve this 'hang'?

thank you in advance...
 
Have you tried adding the administrator into the NTFS rights? you can
do this automatically using Group Policy in Computer, Administrative
Templates, System, User Profiles. Much easier than your method.

As to the problem, is it just the account that stops working or is it
everyone stops working?
