Roaming profiles - PLEASE help!!

If I'm logged into the domain, via the XP pro, under a user with full admin rights and I go to control panel >> System >> Advanced >> Settings (User profiles) I have two accounts:

1) the local system admin account and
2) the domain 'SANTA' user account that also has local machine admin rights

When I click the 'Change type' button 'Roaming profile' is greyed out so I'm unable to select a roaming profile for either user.

The other thing that's strange is that I can't add a new domain user to the same XP machine (which already has one registered domain user) even when I'm already logged into the domain. I get the error:

-----------------------
"The user could not be added because the following error occured:

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"
-----------------------



I'm using Windows 2003 Enterprise on one machine and XP pro on another connected at home on a LAN in order for me to do some tests on a XP / W2K3 Server development environment.

I've managed to setup a local domain, with one a DC

I have only one DNS server running

Active directory integrated

DHCP disabled

Client: Windows XP Professional

Server: Windows 2003 Enterprise

Computers are connected wirelessly via router/modem

I can log into the domain from the client and server machine

I can remotely access the server via terminal services.

So far I can pretty much do everything I need to do but for setting up roaming profiles and the problem of adding an additional domain user to the xp client.


The annoying thing is that all the info I've read about how to set up roaming profiles has said that it's easy...I'm pulling my hair out over the thing!

I have a feeling that it might not be something I'm doing (procedures to set up roaming profiles) but something I might have done (or not done), regarding setting up the server, that could be preventing me from having roaming profiles.

Could the problem be some something to do with the NETLOGON error message produced on the server?


SERVER system event logs
shows the following error:
------------------------------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5723
Date: 27/09/2005
Time: 09:59:24
User: N/A
Computer: DESKTOP-1500
Description:
The session setup from computer 'laptop1' failed because the security database does not

contain a trust account 'laptop1$' referenced by the specified computer.

USER ACTION
If this is the first occurrence of this event for the specified computer and account, this

may be a transient issue that doesn't require any action at this time. Otherwise, the

following steps may be taken to resolve this problem:

If 'laptop1$' is a legitimate machine account for the computer 'laptop1', then 'laptop1'

should be rejoined to the domain.

If 'laptop1$' is a legitimate interdomain trust account, then the trust should be recreated.



Otherwise, assuming that 'laptop1$' is not a legitimate account, the following action should

be taken on 'laptop1':

If 'laptop1' is a Domain Controller, then the trust associated with 'laptop1$' should be

deleted.

If 'laptop1' is not a Domain Controller, it should be disjoined from the domain.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

 
First, I would remove the PC from the domain and then rejoin the domain. Make sure the PC is removed at the server.

Second, roaming profiles is set at the server, not the workstation. In the user settings in AD, you have to specify where the profile is to be stored (network location).
