My company have roaming profil for all users.
Path profil are defined in Active Directory. (Properties Users)
Now my company want to change by implementing local profil instead.
Do you knonw a tool or script to change type profil (roaming to local)on
WinXP/Win2000. I wish to automate this operation by login script.

Thanks for your help !

If you currently do not have a Group Policy set that reads:
"Delete cached copies of roaming profiles" then you're already a step closer
to the solution.
(This setting can be found in a GPO, Computer Configuration, Administrative
Templates, System, User Profiles).
If this isn't set it means that currently all users still have a copy of
their roaming profile available on their local machine. That's nice.
If it *is* set, you can get a copy of their profiles onto their local
machines by 'unsetting' this option and making sure *all* your users have
logged on and off at least once.

Next step would be to change the user profile path definition in AD on all
the user accounts involved to no longer read something like
\\<server>\share\%username%

Without that profile path being set, the system goes by the assumption that
the profile needs to be kept/found locally, which is what you want.
