Ok. I will have to take a look at it again. I thought we just turned off roaming profiles but I might look into that. So does your staff save everything to their my documents on their local machine or to their personal drives?

This is handled via our district AD servers. I also delete the roaming profiles off of the local computers for students when they log out via group policies which are in place.

So would it be better to use roaming profiles or not?

This can take up quite a bit of hard drive space over time. When someone logs into a computer, the first check is for a server (roaming) profile, then second is the local computer, and then finally one is created locally if needed.

We are running Windows XP SP3 and the servers are server 2003. I aren't using roaming profiles so I'm not sure if it is not suppose to update. Just a question. If you have any information of what might be going on please let me know asap. Thanks Mitch Mueller Emmetsburg CSD
