That is another question we had. Once the user has logged into the laptop while connected to the network, gets the roaming profile downloaded, etc. When we disconnect the network cable, then login using the cached network credentials, is the profile cached also? Or are we going to get some error saying "I can't find the server holding my profile, you idiot?"

The first login is paifully slow. Subsequent logins to a particular machine go much faster once a cached profile is present. -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org Troy Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 01/08/2008 01:45:25 PM: > Joe, > > I haven’t used roaming profiles in a LONG time, but when we did, > they were super slow because the profile includes the temporary > internet files and on some long time users those take awhile to copy > from the server. > > I don’t know if it’s the default anymore, but if it was I would opt > not to copy temp internet files as part of the profile (we also had > users who were truly roaming, not between two machines that were > their own, but in a lab environment with users sitting down at a new > machine every day.) > > -troy > > > > From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 11:27 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Pros and cons for roaming profiles? > > > Also, I need someone to tell me if my procedure is correct, as the > first article I read confused the issue for me. > > The user has been around for a while.
