I'm having some trouble thats getting a little frustrating now.

I have a brand new network running SBS 2003, with 2 Windows Vista Ultimate workstations.
On the server, I have created a share C:\Profiles\ and within active directory set the profile path to \\server\profiles\%username%

First I tried to login as a user, but got an error message (see below). I went back to the server, and saw it haddn't created the profile folder, so manually created it. I gave the folder additional security permissions (User = Full Control, System = Full Control).

Now even with the folder created, I still get the following error message when logging in:

Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile.
Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off.
This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

DETAIL - Access is denied.

But I can't understand why - I've given it all the permissions it needs, or at least think I have.

Does anyone have any ideas? Many Thanks,
