Hello, I've just done a migration to sbs2003 and I'm having 2 issues.

Firstly the group policies aren't comming into effect. No got any more info
than this at the min, no errors no nothing! I backed up and restored my GPO's
from the last server.

Secondly when my users log on and download there profile form the server
they don't see all of the profile. I restored there profiles from backup.
When I look in documents and settings at the profile they can only see
certain folders: -

Users Documents
Desktop
Favorites
Start Menu
WINDOWS

They can't see: -

Application Data
Local Settings
etc
etc

I thought at first it wasn't downloading those folders but if I log on as an
administrator and click on the cached copy of there profile all the folders
are there, it's only when they are logged in that they can't see it.

It shouldn't be a permissions thing on the folder as they can download it.

It's not that they are hidden as I clicked to show hidden files and folders.
This is causeing outlook to fail as they can't see the application data
folder.

Anyone any ideas as to whats happening here? Not sure if theres an overall
permissions issue or DNS issue here!! Maybe on the wrong track though!

Thanks

The plat thickens, if I make the user a member of the domain admin group
everything works fine, the policies and profiles!!

Anyone any ideas?
