so i create a new user in active directory and set the profile path to \\server\share\%username%. i log in with the user and the folder on the share is created as it should be and the roaming profile works fine.

I would like to rename NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN but when i try to access the profile folder access is denied to administrator. I can take ownership and set permissions for administrator, allowing me to change the file name but then the user cant use the roaming profile. Even if i revert the permissions to how they were the user still cant use the roaming profile.

I have tried changing ownership to the user, system and creator owner but nothing is solving this problem. The only way i can get the user to use a roaming profile is to create a new profile path, thus creating a new profile folder.

So how do i rename NTUSER?

thanks
