Something like the "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles", but
perfectly the opposite, so on the server there are no data and the
client only send.
The better would be that it synchronize the profile on the client
with that on the server, so the client haven't to send the whole
profile every logout.
Thanks,

But it doesn't send the whole profile up or down, every time. The
first time someone logs into a PC, the profile is downloaded. when
they log out, the *changes* are uploaded.
I know, but if a user at home (or out of office) delete some files,
move others and so one, on the next logon, he'll receive the ones
saved on the server. This is the problem! I don't want this!
The logout sequence does the right work. I want to simple disable the
login one!
That is a case for offline files - the data folders should *not* be part of
the profile path whether you use roaming profiles or not.
Why not? If a user save his data on, for example, desktop or
documents, why don't leave he to do this? The users have the (bad)
habit to work with this policy, and I don't want to change it.
Of course I want to "automatic save" / sync these data into the
server, so I use roaming profiles.
However, you're mistaken. The changes are 2 way. The latest version wins. So
if a user deletes a file from his locally cached profile and logs in again
in the office, that file won't be restored (unless you have major problems
unrelated to this).
Do some testing and you'll see.
Before wrote, I did it!
My test env: srv2k (on my customer I have 2k3 and it's the same).
Client xp pro.
Here I have all on virtual machine, and on production, all "real".
Client joined on domain correctly.
1° test:
- Created a new user on server, profile path set, no gpo
- Login, create a new file, logout. Login and logout. The file are
there, on the desktop
2° test:
- Login, delete the file, logout, login. No file on desktop and no
file on \\server\profiles\user\desktop
3° test:
- Login, create a file, logout. Server has the file. Disconnect the
network on the client (for simulating some work out of office), login
on domain (yes on error that the server aren't accessible). Create new
folder, move the file inside, logout (yes on error). Reconnect the
network (I'm returned in the office), login and... the are
"automatically" moved from the folder to the desktop!
I don't want this! The client must "win" always.
4° test: At the opposite, client logout, delete on \\server\profiles
\user\desktop the file, login and the file disappear!
I want this, but on the "other side"
Thanks,
Michele
