Hi,

I want my moble users to only use local profile when loggin into their
laptop even when t is docked ( attached to the LAN) MS advocates enabling
the Group policy setting "ONLY ALLOW LOCAL USER PROFILES"
Computer Configuration\Admin templates\system\user profiles
So, I have enabled this setting ....but when the laptop is attachedto the
network and a domain user logs in ..they still get their domain roaming user
profile downloaded to the laptop .... It would appear this policy setting
would specifically stop this ( as per Microsoft's expert explaination) but
for me it isnt doing it ....any ideas ?? thanks
