you redirected My Documents folders to the same Microsoft Windows 2000 volume that
uses quotas, a Microsoft Windows XP 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 Source: UserEnv Details: Not enough space to write to the
disk. CAUSEThis problem occurs because Windows 2000 detects that the user does not have sufficient disk space to copy the profile.RESOLUTION
This behavior is by design.STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.MORE INFORMATIONBefore Windows 2000 saves the profile, it calculates how
much space is required to copy the profile. Then, Windows 2000 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.
