1. Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles
2. Delete cached copies of roaming profiles
- We opened Active Directory users and computers
- We moved the user SRC to a new OU UserSRCProfile
- We went to the properties of the user SRC and clicked on the profile tab
- We pointed the roaming profile for user SRC to the following share \\srv\userprofiles\%username%
- We logged in with the user SRC and made changes to the profile and logged off
- We Went to the location of the roaming profile for user SRC (\\srv\userprofiles\src) and renamed the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man (to make the profile mandatory)
- We logged back in and verified that the settings are taking affect
- We tried to log in to a different computer (ex. computer7) and we noticed that the settings did not take affect
- We logged in to computer7 as the administrator and went to control panel=> regional and language options=> languages tab and install files for East Asian languages

You can specify a single domain, or you can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character (the asterisk must be at the beginning of the name and be separated from the rest of the name by a period) to specify more than one domain. For example, if you want the remote domain to accept mail for other-domain.com and all its subdomains, use the name *.other-domain.com.
