I have a strange problem. We have a few laptops that are hardwired to our
network (they never leave the office). We are running in a Windows 2003 AD
domain, and the users that use these laptops use roaming profiles. The
problem is that the users may work from a desktop PC and update a file on
their Windows desktop, then log out. When they move to a different part of
our office to log in from the laptop, the changes to the file(s) that were
previously saved and updated on the server profile, has not been copied back
down to the local profile on the laptop. Neither will any changes made on the
laptop be copied back up to the server when they log out. This behaviour only
seems to happen on the laptops (identical hardware, Dell Inspiron, Windows XP
SP2). Between desktop PC's, (also Dell XP SP2) however, there doesn't seem to
be a problem. Changes made on one PC are properly copied up to the server at
logoff, and down to another PC at logon. I have tried deleting the roaming
profile stored on the laptop, to no avail. Any subsequent changes after a
fresh profile is copied to the laptop don't seem to get copied back to
server. Not sure if I'm looking at profile corruption or network latency or
something else. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
