ISSUE:
If you have set a roaming profile path to a normal profile or a mandatory profile set for a user in his/her AD account Remote Desktop Servers tab profile path and you user still gets a "READ ONLY" profile on a Windows 2008 R2 server. You should see the following application event log message stating that the users profile was not loaded due to security rights or path.

Description:
Windows cannot locate your roaming profile (read only) and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

When you get this message check the users profile path in this location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\{sid}
