Roaming profiles set by GPO fails with no error

Hi All,
I have a Windows 2012 server with all the relevant RDS roles installed and a Windows 2012 file server.
I wish to use Group Policy to set romaing profiles for all RDS users, the policy in question is:
Computer Configuration > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Session Host > Profiles > "Set path for RDS user romaing profile"
I have set the profile path to be \\TTLCloudFP01\profiles$
This does not seem to create a profile, even after I have logged off and rebooted the server to make sure the GPO is in effect. If I create the profile path in AD profiles section it does create a roaming profie but, if I do this in AD in the Remote Desktop Services section it does not.
No event logs are generated on either the RDS server of my file sever. I am stuck! Can anyone suggest any further trouble shooting I can do to resolve this? I have this exact same configuration working at other sites, but it is all server 2008 R2, I wonder if this is an issue specific to 2012.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

If all users don't share the same profile, you may want to add %username% after profile$. Or this case collection may help too:Resolution of Windows Roaming User Profile Issues - http://www.chicagotech.net/Windows/roamingprofile11.htm

Hi,
You need to move all RDS servers to one OU, and apply the GPO you created. For detailed Group Policy troubleshooting steps, I would recommend that you repost at Group Policy Forum.
For more detailed information about Terminal Server profile, please refer to the following articles.
