Missing Profile in SBS 2008 Connect Computer Tool (http://connect)

I have been installing a SBS 2008 server this weekend for a client and I was having trouble migrating the profile from a few client computers using the connect computer tool(http://connect/). I followed all of the instructions online to fix the error, but the profile selection would still just display < none >.

It turns out that the problem I was experiencing was related to the profile marked as private. I found that the profiles would not show up if the volume is formatted in FAT32. Once I converted the volume to NTFS, the profile showed up and the Connect Computer tool worked like a charm!

All you have to do is run the following command:

CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS
