"Windows cannot update your roaming profile"

Event ID: 112 - Details: Not enough space to write to the disk.

Symptom: If you redirected My Documents folders to the same Windows server volume that uses quotas, a Windows client user who logs off may receive the following error message:

Windows cannot update your roaming profile.
Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights.
If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.

The following event message may be logged in the system event log:

Event ID: 112 - Details: Not enough space to write to the disk.

Cause: This problem occurs because the user does not have sufficient disk space to copy the profile. Before Windows server saves the profile, it calculates how much space is required to copy the profile. Then, Windows 2server verifies the disk space that is available to the user. If the free space that is available to the user is less than what Windows 2000 requires to copy the profile, Windows 2000 returns the error message that this article describes.
