So I tried a new user, and it didn't work, so I debugged a little and discovered that I was missing a \ when I changed from setting the profile path per-user to setting it via group policy. After fixing that, my profile folders were automatically recreated on the server, and windows attempted to copy my local profile over. It copied a bunch of stuff, but started failing with a bunch of "The specified network name is no longer available" errors.
When I logged back in I got the message telling me it was using my local copy, which is fine since the server copy is incomplete, but in the event viewer I saw this: > Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is > attempting to log you on with your local profile.

I have seen that command length error fairly often recently. I have no idea what causes it, and the web isn't being very helpful. I got the same error when opening the group policy management app just now. Anyone know how to debug this? -Aaron On 8/25/2010 2:57 AM, Daniel_Müller wrote: > First of all try with a new user to be shure your setup of profiles > is working.
