I don't know about the e-mail, but of course your local copy of your roaming
profile wont be under documents and settings anymore. That is the policy
you enabled was to not cache the copy onto your local computer.

What are you attempting? What results do you want?

Thank you very much for your reply.

it is known that LOCAL SETTING folder is located un
Documents and settings, in this folders hold most of the
user setting for the local PC and it stores the PST files
for MS Outlook, and some other files for ms outlook
express. And when using roaming profiles the LOCAL SETTING
folder is not copied with the profile so it's not stored
on the server with the profile.

My problem started when I've enabled the DELETE CACHED
COPIES OF ROAMING PROFILES in GPO. I've tried to log off
from my local PC and log on again, but when I've logged on
again I've realized that none of my email is available, so
I navigated to the LOCAL SETTING folder and I've realized
that it was empty.
I'm assuming that the GPO policy deleted the profile from
the local PC, as I want, but why did it delete the LOCAL
SETTING folder since it's not copied and roaming with the
profile. And why didn't Microsoft mention about this thing
when explaining about this policy.

Why I want to use this policy and what resualt i want:

I'm working with an environment (Hospital) that needs to
use roaming profiole (Multi user per PC, Like Doctors),
but I do not want to save a cached copy of the profile on
any local PC's.


Many Thanks

The "Local Settings" folder is exactly that: local settings. It is not
per-user settings, nor should it be a part of your profile (which ISN'T
local). When you delete cached profiles, the computer indiscriminately
removes everything in \Documents and Settings\%username%.

It seems you are doing exactly what you want (remove local copies of profile
at logout). If you want users' email to remain when the local profile is
deleted, the proper solution is to redirect Outlook/OE to put their mailbox
files somewhere secure (like put outlook.pst in My Documents instead of
Local Settings).

I agree with you that the placement of outlook.pst by default was not very
intelligent on Microsoft's part.
