[THIN] Re: HELP!: TS Roaming Profiles on a Windows Server 2003 Cluster (F&P)

What makes you so sure it's the cluster?

Have you changed a user's profile path to another server?
Are these new user profiles? 
Or has this issue started since the profiles were moved there?
Any AV software running on the cluster or the TS boxes that you can turn
off?

If you're thinking it's the cluster, then you should narrow down where
in the cluster. Try setting a profile path to a share off of the C:\ of
one of the cluster nodes, getting the subsystem out of the picture. 

Otherwise this really looks like a TS corrupted profile issue. If these
are new user profiles, then I would question whether a default user
profile on one of the TS servers may have been corrupted, and is passing
it on to each new user account. 

Everything still works fine for admins? What about new admin accounts
with roaming profiles stored on the cluster? Or what about giving a
current user admin rights and trying it?

We currently have a client that we just implemented a Windows Server
2003
Cluster that serves only file shares and print queue's.  The problem we
are
having is the Terminal Server Roaming Profiles reside on this cluster.
All
of the firmware and drivers are current on the RAID cards in the nodes.
BTW, it's an SE500 (Dell PowerEdge 2650's with PERC4/dc RAID cards
connected
to a PowerVault 220s) cluster.

We have users that are getting the following error message:

Windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted.  Contact
your
administrator.

In the Application Event Log, we get this:

RegLoadKey failed. Return value The configuration registry database is
corrupt.  for Q:\Documents and Settings\gerrn\ntuser.dat.

Now, these users are running multiple published applications (not a
single
published desktop, which is what they are going to go to within a few
weeks), but we are not sure that this is actually causing problems.

I just wanted to know if anyone has run into any similar issues like the
ones above.  Or if you have a cluster environment, and if you ran into
anything that needed to be tweaked.

BTW, the cluster share for the profiles does have Caching disabled.

Thanks,

Chris
