Some users loose ownership on their server-side copy of the roaming profile (Windows Server 2008 R2)


hello,

recently discovered strange behaviour concerning roaming profiles in our domain. domain has 2 domain controllers distributed file system. setup running quite time now. there 1 behaviour worries me: users contacted me reporting problems profiles. of these problems solved. however, while working on profiles folders discovered profiles there no owner , not access permissions page. problem solved directly accessing profiles folder on 1 of servers hard discs , taking ownership domain administrator. next step change ownership user. directly setting ownership profiles user not possible. last step (!) permissions had set again. after that, check if replication has accepted changes , tell user login on computer.

looking shadow copies realized problem existed weeks. concerned fact @ point user looses ownership of profile , not know why. second, seems no more changes made profile. makes sense, user has no more rights access it. therefore assume users working local copies without telling of domain administrators.

my question is: why user loose ownership of roaming profiles server copy? how avoid effect?

double check permissions on root of profile folder on servers take part in dfs. permission on root? behaviour can influenced difference between perissions.

regards

milos
