the link pretty much tells me to name the profile path as \\server\share\%username%.man. doing this means that the profile cant be created as to create the profile folder would be modifying it.

So i created the profile path as normal and logged in with the user so the profile folder is created. i then changed the profile path settings to \\server\share\%username%.man and again i could not log in. Tells me that the roaming profile cant be loaded. loading the local profile instead but no changes will be saved
