Tutorial: Setting up Roaming Profiles from scratch!
Mini-tutorial on roaming profiles: This is on a Windows 2003 Server, we have not purchased our ReadyNAS NV yet, so this thread will be updated once we have one for ReadyNAS specific options/settings....

Also, if you have the advanced CIFS permissions enabled, you will not be able to change folder permissions from Windows. This isn't necessarily a problem, if you have one person's roaming profile per share and set each one's permissions from the NAS.
However, we wanted to create a default share for all roaming profiles for that department and each folder was inheriting the permissions from the parent folder. This isn't a problem, if you don't mind everyone having access to everyone else's profile, but I trust my users about as far as I can throw our server room (I'm sure you all feel similarly). If you disable the Advanced CIFS permissions, you can just drop the entire profile in a folder on the share and then change the permissions on each profile from windows.
Granted, you would have to have enabled the advanced permissions for this to be a problem, but I forgot I had enabled it and was stuck for a bit.
