OK, everyone on a corporate network must have faced this one. Your users
have laptops and are joined to the domain so that they can log into the
server just as if they were working at a desktop PC.

The problem is that they need a local login to use when they are not
plugged into the network, and this gives them a different profile from
the roaming one that gets downloaded from the server.

The server is set up to deliver roaming profiles automatically, can it be
overridden in a local machine? And then can I make the two different
logins, the server one and the local one, use the same local profile?
