The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release, version 2.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you are using Citrix WinFrame version 1.6 (Service Pack 5 or later) or
Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, roaming profiles do not
work in Windows 95.
CAUSE
=====
When you use the User Manager tool to create or edit the user information for a
user account, Citrix WinFrame or Windows Terminal Server-specific information is
embedded in the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database. When a Windows 95
client tries to retrieve the user information from the domain controller, the
client cannot process all of the data because of the size of the user
information returned. Because the client cannot read the home directory
information, roaming profiles do not work.
RESOLUTION
==========
To prevent this problem from occurring, do not edit user accounts with the User
Manager tool provided on the WinFrame server.
STATUS
======
This issue is resolved in Microsoft Windows 98.
