UPH is your friend, it rocks, especially in TSE environment, but can
work for roaming profiles also.

Ernesto-
Profiles are notorious for not completely unloading at logoff (i.e.
resource handles "leak" and remain open). As a result, the profile is
unable to copy up to the central server and therefore the server version
doesn't get updated. If that is the problem here, then you can get a
hold of the User Profile Hive Cleanup service on the MS download site,
and install it on the Tablet PC if you think that is the issue. Also,
keep in mind that user profiles don't get written up to the roaming
profile until a user logs off.
So if a user stays logged onto a machine where they deleted those icons,
and then went to another machine without logging off of the first, and
made some changes, then logged off--that second machine would write up
the profile with the icons intact. Then, going back to the first machine
would of course result in the icons not being there.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Roaming Profiles not updating

I'm having some problems with roaming profiles.
I have several users that use 3 different computers.
1 is a table pc, and two are workstations, and sometimes the OS on the
workstation can be XP or win2k.

The users keep telling me that when they delete icons from their
desktop, the settings stay, but maybe a week or two later, all those
desktop icons that they deleted return.  What I can't pinpoint is the
why the profile doesn't update.  I think the old profile returns when
the tablet is used.
The tablet PC is wireless too, which they take home.

Any ideas?

Ernesto
