Hello,

=20

since I worked for several days/weeks on a problem cause by the =
migration of
AFS Version 1.2 xx to the latest release 1.5.59 I have no idea how to =
solve
the problem! Maybe anybody knows the solution!

=20

After I have done the migration from AFS version  1.2 to Version 1.5.59 =
the
roaming profiles of windows xp are loaded during logon  but  they =
couldn=92t
be written back to the server at logoff.   The error message is  =
=93access
denied=94, but the local  System account is able to write to the profile =
path
during the complete  =93logoff=94 process . (Tested with a script).

=20

If I move the path (registry) to another location ( Windows network =
share or
Novell), the write back of the windows XP user profile succeed!

=20

I have activated logon/logoff debugging in the registry! The error =
message
tells me that the AFS client cannot create the directory. It seems that =
the
impersonated logoff-process can=92t write to the users home directory.

=20

Who has any idea for further testing or knows the solution!

=20

=20

Best regards
