Roaming profiles vs OffLine File Sync

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have my 1st SBS with 8 XP Pro clients. I originally set them up with
profile and My Docs redirected to the server.

With Users usually only using 1 PC, my thought was to allow them to log into
other machines, if a hardware failure occured, until I could get the PC
replaced (this is for our church, and I travel...).

Of course, I found if the server was not available, no body could log in....
The server is is for file backup and Exchange to share calendars (for
resource scheduling).

Question is, how can I convert back to Off-line file sync (of My Doc's), or
is there a better way to do this?
If the server is not available, I still want users to be able to login and
use their PC

I have NOT converted anyone over to the Exchange server (they use Outlook
directly to the ISP)., but I am paranoid about adding a new profile and
moving data (which was one way I was told).

Since I am a real newbie at this, I'm looking for some direction to point me
in......and maybe some good learning material also.....

Thanks alot!
