Eric Feldhusen, you've pretty much convinced me that best practice is
having profiles stored in one place, and home folders in another.
But I'm still curious if you have also experienced these problems
even with such a configuration. Either way, I think the merits of
such a configuration are clear; I just wonder if I can expect even
these problems to go away, or if I shouldn't get my hopes up quite
that much.
Well... I created a new directory structure:
home directory = \server\home\username (unchanged)
profile directory = \server\home\profiles\username (new)
I've already switched one user over who was having a weird problem with
a printer not appearing on the receptionist computer (she covers for the
receptionist when she goes to lunch, etc). That problem is now resolved,
while nothing else I tried worked.
So, I'm hopeful that this will indeed fix these other mysterious
problems. After some reading on this, I'm embarrassed that I never
encountered this 'best practice' knowledge before...
Many thanks to Eric for the whack upside the head...
