Hi, I?ve recently installed windows 2003 Server enterprise edition (my first real server environment). Created a DC, and a login script for some AD users. The purpose of the login script is to map a few network drives and a printer. The script works fine.

The problem I?m facing is, if a new user who doesn't have a profile on the local pc to which they are loggin on to ( i.e in c:\documents and settings\username" .. the script doesn't get executed, but after the first logon and there after, it gets executed fine.

The same also applies to folder redirection, made a custom GPO, applied to an OU, which the users are under. The folder is not created on server, on users first initial logon. As usual on logons & there after, redirection works fine.

So what is the solution to get things working on first logon if no profile for the user exists? I would assume making some type of default profile on the server...and roaming profiles. Which I heard is a thing of the past....

Any tips tricks is appreciated

Thanks

Lookup AD User creating -script side....

Create a script which will add the user to AD and create a folder for their profile in the directory where the profiles are.....It may take some time to develop but will be worth while as this will be a script where you enter the username, password and OU and it will create everything from there....

Thing is the script thing is MCSE/MCSA stuff.

Just an idea off the top of my head.

With folder redirect the profile is only conpleted when the user logs off the first time.

I use the MS best practice of two folders, Profile$ and Data$. Profile$ holds the profile and Data$ holds the data. When the user first logs on only the profile is created. When the user logs off then the data is created.

    • Amazon Deal: JBL BAR 1000 7.1.4, BAR 700 5.1 Dolby Atmos wireless subwoofer soundbars by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for an audio system and are after smaller bookshelf speakers delivering highly accurate sound, then take a look at KEF and Polk Audio's Q Concerto Meta and Reserve R200 speakers, respectively, as both of them are up for sale at their lowest ever prices. However, if you are more into shaking your house, which is not possible without a subwoofer, then Samsung has its Q900F, Q800F, and Q600F soundbar systems with wireless subwoofers at the lowest prices. These are the latest 2025 models, and you can take a look at them in this article here. JBL BAR 1000 For those looking for additional options, JBL's BAR 1000 and Bar 700 are also available. The former has hit its lowest ever price too, while the latter is back to its cheapest (purchase links down below). JBL claims that its BAR 1000 model goes as low as 33Hz which is crucial for movie-watching or even some genres of music. The 10-inch subwoofer is rated at 300 watts of RMS power. The total power output of the system is 880 watts at THD (total harmonic distortion) of 1%. JBL BAR 1000 rear view Unlike the 7.1.4 JBL BAR 1000, the BAR 700 is a 5.1 system which means it lacks true Dolby Atmos, but it should still provide an Atmos-like experience. DTS:X is also not supported. The BAR 700 is rated at 620 watts. It is good to see some power ratings, as companies like Samsung, Sonos, Bose, and more tend not to mention them all too often nowadays. Interestingly, both the BAR systems have similarly-specced subwoofers so if bass is what you are looking for and do not care about the Atmos experience so much, you can opt for the BAR 700 too. Get them at the links below: JBL Bar 1000: 7.1.4-Channel soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers, MultiBeam™, True Dolby Atmos®, and DTS:X®, Black: $799.95 (Shipped and Sold by Amazon US) JBL Bar 700: 5.1-Channel soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers and Dolby Atmos®, Black: $549.95 (Amazon US) + you also get free 90-day Amazon Music This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Funny how just a few days ago we hear a lot of rumors that this device was cancelled.

    • It's about the same actually. The oldest iPhone to support iOS 26 will likely be the iPhone 12, which was released in late 2020, so very similar. The current OS runs on the iPhone 11, 2019. Still, valid point, you expect to be able to use a computer for longer than a phone.
