SYMPTOMS
You may be unable to save user profiles to a Microsoft Windows NT server.



CAUSE
This problem can occur if the following conditions exist:


 * The Primary Network Login setting is not set to Client For Microsoft Networks.
 * User profiles are not enabled.
 * A Home directory is not set up correctly for the user on the domain.



RESOLUTION
To resolve the problem, follow these steps:

 Set the Primary Network Login setting to Client For Microsoft Networks. Enable user profiles. Set up a Home directory on the Windows NT server. To verify that the Home directory is set up correctly, type the following line at an MS-DOS prompt

net use : /home

where  is a drive letter.

If you receive an error message stating "The syntax is incorrect," Home directories are not set up correctly.

For additional information about setting up Home directories, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
