http://serverfault.com – In previous versions of Windows, the Roaming Profile is uploaded only when the user logs off. However, in Windows 7, a Group Policy setting can allow the registry file to be uploaded in the background. The setting is called Background upload of roaming user profile’s registry file while user is logged on. However, with this setting set, the Win32_UserProfile LastUploadTime field in WMI still only reflects the last log off. I assume that this is because more than just the registry file need to be uploaded to the server in order to qualify as a full upload. So, my question is: What other (HowTos)

My users are having an issue with their roaming profiles getting too large and then their roaming profile is lost. I believe this is because this is because they are storing too much in their roaming profiles.

If I upload files to the webserver from any user OTHER than www-data, then I get a 403 error when I try to access the uploaded files from the browser. I can run "chmod 777" on the file and it works fine then, but it's very tedious to have to do this to every file I upload. Is there a way to make it so any of my users in the www-data group can upload files (via FTP) without issue?

We have a Windows Server 2008 r2 Standard and a server that everybody logs into using RDP which runs Windows Server 2003. Now when people log into the RDP server, they only use an MS-Access frontend as their shell, explorer doesn't even run. However...it appears that all of their roaming profiles are needlessly being copied over to the RDP server when they log in.

I've got a bit of an odd FTP issue. I'm trying to upload a file (about 12 megs) to a client's FTP server. Whenever I try, 0 bytes are uploaded, and the connection eventually times out.

Small files (like text files) upload fine. I'm in PASV mode and binary mode.

Here's the weird thing: it works on my local computer (running OS X Lion).

I am currently using roaming profiles and wante to configure all clients connected to the domain to delete the local profile once the user logs off.

Could this be done via a Group Policy? Script?

This may be more of a programming question, however, it also involves configuration, is there a way to easily, from within a script, or program determine if the current user's profile is roaming or mandatory?

More specifically is there a way to make a best programmatic guess as to weather %APPDATA% will be deleted when the user logs off?

I know similar things have been asked a thousandfold, but I can't seem to figure it out..

I have recently started renting a VPS. It runs DirectAdmin. I created a reseller account in the admin account, and created a new user (with FTP account) with the reseller account.

I logged in with FTP as the created user and uploaded a zip file and a php file which will extract the zip.
