Black screen and file explorer on roaming profiles

Hi sphtd7,

Apart from switching from roaming profiles to something else, here are some benefits of fixing the black screen and file explorer issue:

• Improved user experience: Users will be able to log in to their computers and start using them immediately, without having to wait for their roaming profiles to load. This will also eliminate the black screen issue.
• Reduced network traffic: Roaming profiles can generate a significant amount of network traffic, especially when users have large profiles. Fixing the black screen and file explorer issue will reduce this traffic, improving network performance for all users.
• Improved security: Roaming profiles can be a security risk if they are not properly configured. For example, if a user's roaming profile is compromised, an attacker could gain access to the user's data on other computers in the network. Fixing the black screen and file explorer issue will make your network more secure.

Here are some steps you can take to fix the black screen and file explorer issue:

1. Verify that the roaming profile limit is set correctly. The default limit is 30MB, but you can increase it if necessary. However, it is important to note that increasing the limit can lead to performance problems and security risks.
2. Make sure that the roaming profile server is accessible. If the server is unavailable, users will not be able to load their profiles and will see a black screen.
3. Check the event logs for errors related to roaming profiles. This information can help you troubleshoot the problem.
4. Try restarting the roaming profile service. This can sometimes fix minor problems.
5. If you are still having problems, you may need to delete the user's roaming profile. This will reset the profile and allow the user to log in again.
