Roaming profile question

[Michael Mishler]

Just wonder what happens in this scenario:

Server2003, Active Directory with roaming profiles set up with WinXP
workstations.

Homey logs on to workstation #1 and it loads his profile. He goes to work
and makes various changes to his profile

without logging off of workstation #1 he logs onto workstation #5

On workstation #5 he makes changes to his desktop, my documents and various
other changes that affect his profile.

Now the question:

When both workstations are logged off of, what happens to his profile on the
server? Does it reflect the changes on workstation #1 or #5? Or both?
Someone please explain what happens here.

Another question:

Roaming profiles synchronize deletions right? Well, then how does the
server/workstation relationship know which side had the deletion last?

Thanks for any input on the synchronization confusion.

When the first workstation logs off the changes are recorded to roaming
profiles. Then when the last workstation logs off those changes are saved to
roaming profiles. When the user logs back on they will get the sum total of
changes to there user profile that was made on the two workstations the
exception being that the last workstation logoff will overwrite same type
changes that were made on the first workstation. Example if the back round
color was changed to red on the first workstation to logoff, and blue on the
last workstation to logoff, when the user logs back on the back round color
will be blue.
