Re: connecting laptop to network

Hello shank,

Even if the userprofile was copied from the lcoal to the domain user, this is another profile and there is no sync between the local profiles on the machine.

If your domain user travel, she/he has to logon like connecting to the domain. So logging on with "domainname" when Ctrl+Alt+Del is used instead of "machinename(this computer)". When the user was logged on to the domain one time, she/he is able to use cached credentials to logon. Of course no network drives are usable this way but the complete profile will be there as when logged on to the domain.

Best regards

Appreciated! What I finally got accomplished was instead of exporting
the *.pst and copying to the network. I copied the actual working
*.pst file to the server and I could import into the laptop. Chugged
away all night, but it completed. Now it's 13GB in size. When I found
the user had a 9GB file I told him it was outrageous. When he comes in
I'll insist he archive that crap. We are using the server to sync the
local stations. I store data files on the network, but not anything
like email.

I'm just blundering into this networking because of no real IT person.
I have a lot of learning to do with profiles and permissions. I got
the laptop connected, synched and working as expected. Problem: On the
laptop, when logged into the network domain - no problem. Simulate
travel and try to login under the laptop domain WORKGROUP with same
username and all files are gone again. When on the road, should the
user just log in to the NETWORK domain and accept any cannot connect
messages?

thanks!

OK... done with profile. Something else confusing me. I need to move
he user's 9GB *.pst file so it can be imported into the laptop
Outlook. I created a temp folder in the user's home drive. Copied
the *.pst file into, and it's not there! Can't even see it logged
onto the server as admin. I've opened up the permissions on the file
and copied it a few times. At 1/2 a crack it's getting old. Any burp
in the network and it corrupts.

Anyway, it's a matter of the user logging into his workstation,
copying, then logging into his laptop, and it's not there. Why?

thanks!
