Error message while trying to copycreate a roaming profile

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

I'm getting an error message when trying to copy a local profile on a Windows
XP client to a network location. It says the the location already exists,
but it won't overwrite it. I can copy the profile to a local location
without any problems. Then I can copy the profile to the network, but I'm
having a problem making it mandatory. I can rename ntuser.dat to ntuser.man,
but when I login and logout using that profile it creates a new ntuser.dat
and ignores the ntuser.man. The roaming profile works great otherwise. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tom
