Not sure how many are using roaming profiles, but we’ve run into a problem and wanted to know if anyone might have any advice. When a client workstation is not connected to the domain and a user logs on to the workstation, providing they’ve logged on to that workstation before, the user is logged on and has access to their profile. If a user makes changes to a specific file while not connected to the domain, once connected back, those changes are synchronized with the server profile and all works well. The problem comes when a user either moves, deletes, or renames a file or directory while not connected to the domain. When the user establishes connection back to the domain, those changes are void and a copy of the user’s profile is copied down from the server with settings the way they were when last connected.

We’ve tried just about every possible scenario to isolate the problem, but have not had any success. I should mention that this problem only recently surfaced, though it’s possible the problem has been around longer. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
