Hi,

I go on a holiday with my laptop (just an example, but it happens in many
other situations) and I modify my favorites a d other settings, I come back
but my profile cannot be saved to the (DC) server.

Is there a trick or tool to perform this anyway?

Thanks!
 
That depends on circumstances. If you are using a separate account when
away from the domain, no, the two accounts cannot use the same profile.

If you use the same account and rely on a cached logon when roaming, that
would eliminate the change of settings. In this case an issue might arise if
the password expires while roaming, though, so best check the domain's
password-expiry policies.

Yes, and nope...

Of course, I'm using the same credentials.

It's just like this.

At work, I logon using credential x

I go away and have to reboot, (because of updates for instance). In
disconnected mode, I logon using cached credentials.

Then I come back at office, now, and --connect-- to the office network. Now
the profile will not be saved (this is a windows rule, logon offline, logoff
'as if' ofline as well!).

So my question is, how to force this anyway?
 
It sounds like this is a roaming-profile setup.

In which case check with your administator,as it sounds like there is a
configuration problem. It may be that you don't have the necessary rights to
change files in the server-side copy of your profile.

It might also be that the profile is a mandatory one.

I am the administrator.

Let me just explain this.

When you logon when disconnected from the network Windows XP ***states***
through a 'message box' that at logoff, settings won't be saved.

And this is exactly what happens. Even when I connect, and then, log off, it
won't save settings even when the AD and DC is available.

But everything is OK when I do not disconnect at logon.
It might also be that the profile is a mandatory one.

Sorry this is not related.

Thanks anyway.
