Interesting.  Glad that we aren't running Windows 2000 on the cluster then.

Cluster (F&P)


When we switched to a W2K cluster for profiles, we had a number of issues.
Turns out that NTFS inheritance doesn't work for profile directories that
are created when a user logs in for the first time.    MS has a number of
KB articles describing how profile creation uses an oddball API compared to
normal folder creation.  It was supposedly fixes in W2K SP1 (I run SP3) but
I suffer from it.

Importance: High

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
