Desktop files on Server?

[matt.anderson]

I have no idea what has happend but its become quite a problem.

A few days ago, I used remote desktop to connect to our server (terminal
services) and upon connecting I noticed all the icons/files from my local
machine's desktop were now on my desktop of the server. I minimize the
session to see that the icons/files that I had on the server desktop are now
on my local machine's desktop. As if they were now mirrored.


Not thinking too much about it, I went back on the server and deleted the
files so that only my server desktop items remained. Upon logging off and
returning to my local machine I noticed now that my normal desktop icons were
gone from my local machine. I looked everywhere for them but they were
completely gone.


I have heard of sharing Printers and Drives with remote desktop, and those
settings can be turned on and off. But I do not see anything about my
desktop.


Specs:
Local Machine: Windows Vista Buisness
Server: Windows 2003 SBS R2
Group Policy: Desktop and My Documents stored on server

Hello matt.anderson,

Do you use offline folders?

Hi,

The Vista Sync Center appears to be syncing those folders yes. It was
nothing I setup, it just started happening automatically when the GP was
enforced.


Thanks,
Matt

I'm guessing roaming profiles.
