SYMPTOMS
========

A user connecting to a Terminal Server that has Metaframe installed may receive
the following error message:

  You do not have permission to access your central profile located at
  \\server\share. The operating system is attempting to log you on with your
  local profile. Please contact your Network Administrator.

CAUSE
=====

This problem will occur if a user's User Profile path or Terminal Server Profile
path is specified in User Manager as \\server\share, rather than
\\server\share\folder.

RESOLUTION
==========

To workaround this situation, copy the profile to a folder under the profile
share point. Change the User Profile path or Terminal Server Profile path in
User Manager to \\server\share\folder.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0,
Terminal Server Edition.
