If you're asking if there's any way that they can use the same profile
space, no. And why would you want to?
OK, so I would have to manually copy stuff from the local profile to the
domain profile. That's not too bad. But...
If you're going on the assumption that once you disconnect from the network
you lose any ability to log in as domain\user, I suggest you try it. Unless
you use the 'delete the local copy of the profile on logout' method, you'll
be fine.
Even though I do not have 'delete the local copy...', I cannot logon as
the domain user when disconnected. I get an error because the Samba PDC
is not available, and am returned to the logon screen.
It should be noted however that this brings up a problem with roaming
profiles on semi-connected machines. When you are offline and go about
changing things, certain (and I can't be more specific really) things will
be copied from the server and overwrite your offline changes as soon as you
login on the network and it tries to refresh your profile from the server
copy.
Isn't this handled correctly with a file date comparison? The most
recent file wins? I understand it can be a problem when connected
simultaneously from different machines, but do these problems also
happen when the user has only one active connection at a time?
