Hello,

 

since I worked for several days/weeks on a problem cause by the migration of
AFS Version 1.2 xx to the latest release 1.5.59 I have no idea how to solve
the problem! Maybe anybody knows the solution!

 

After I have done the migration from AFS version  1.2 to Version 1.5.59 the
roaming profiles of windows xp are loaded during logon  but  they couldn’t
be written back to the server at logoff.   The error message is  “access
denied”, but the local  System account is able to write to the profile path
during the complete  “logoff” process . (Tested with a script).

 

If I move the path (registry) to another location ( Windows network share or
Novell), the write back of the windows XP user profile succeed!

 

I have activated logon/logoff debugging in the registry! The error message
tells me that the AFS client cannot create the directory. It seems that the
impersonated logoff-process can’t write to the users home directory.

 

Who has any idea for further testing or knows the solution!

 

 

Best regards
