Hi guys,

I cannot seem to restore my NTUSER.dat file (im using roaming profiles). Whenever I attempt to do so, it is overwritten with a new NTUSER.dat file.

Any ideas why this is happening folks?

Kind regards

Hi guys,

im using roaming profiles (Win2k3 domain). So, with the user logged out, im restoring a backup of there profile (my docs, application data etc). However once its done and the user logs in, the NTUser.dat file is reset.

The user profiles were from a different domain, thus im not sure if there is some sort of conflict going on here.

Do your users have local copies of their profiles on their PC's? If so, is it possible the time stamp of their local copy of ntuser.dat is newer than the time stamp of the restored file. If so, the PC would copy the local profile back to the server because it would believe it to be newer.

AH! I never thought of that. Good thinking!

Any ideas how I would go about changing the timestamp of the backed up files?
