Hi all,

I have built an active directory server running Server 2012. I am not trying to get the users emails configured with the roaming profiles. I have installed Thunderbird onto each PC and configured the email account on the first PC, the issue is when I go to the second PC the account details are not present.

I noticed that the appdata was not being pulled across with the roaming profile so I wrote a simple script to copy the file to the server and then back to the same location on the second PC to see if Thunderbird would pick it up. Although it did see the profile it stated that the profile was unusable.

Is it possible to configure Thunderbird to working with Server 2012 roaming profile so that the user can have access to their emails from any PC without having to configure the PC each time they go to a new one. The emails are coming from an IMAP server.

Any information regarding this would be great,

Cheers

Damian

You have issues with your server, it is supposed to backup and restore the appdata\roaming location that Thunderbird places it's profile in.
