SYMPTOMS

A user connecting to a Terminal Server that has Metaframe installed may receive the following error message:

You do not have permission to access your central profile located at \\server\share. The operating system is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Please contact your Network Administrator.

CAUSE

This problem will occur if a user's User Profile path or Terminal Server Profile path is specified in User Manager as \\server\share, rather than \\server\share\folder.

RESOLUTION

To workaround this situation, copy the profile to a folder under the profile share point. Change the User Profile path or Terminal Server Profile path in User Manager to \\server\share\folder.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition.
