How to Update Permissions for User ProfilesLast reviewed: October 2, 1997Article ID: Q156697 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYThe User Profiles tab in Control Panel System displays local, roaming, and mandatory user profiles in the %Systemroot%\Profiles, directory; the tab cannot be modified to show profiles for other paths. This is a limitation in Windows NT 4.0 and will be addressed in future versions of Windows NT.
MORE INFORMATIONThis limitation may cause problems for administrators who store server- based profiles in alternate locations and later want to either change the profile type (local to roaming or vice-versa) or modify the list of users and groups allowed to use existing mandatory profiles. Several methods (listed below) are available to change permissions for mandatory profiles. The information below assumes that computers running Windows NT Server or Workstation 4.0 have machine accounts in Windows NT domains, that the user making the change has administrator access in both the domain and the local workstation, and that server-based roaming or mandatory profiles are defined in User Manager for Domains.
Method I
Method II
Method IIINOTE: This method involves editing the registry. WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
