From the looks of it, I don't think the issue is with your INI file.

Outside of the progress bar. Can you confirm that the network location being
written too by the login script creates an updated *.OPS file with a current
time stamp on user logoff?

Are you doing any trickery like setting a "hide" file attribute on the *.OPS
file after it's written? I've found the flex kit doesn't handle hidden
files, so in my login / logoff I'm using Attrib to remove the hidden value
so that the OPS file can be read it on log on, and again on logoff so that
it can be written too.

You may also want to consider running Process mon from the console of the TS
server during user logoff of Server A, and again during the logon to Server
B -

is there any entries that I should removed or edit as for your suggestion.
and in answer to your question, Yes user is logged off server A and
then logs in into server B. I also I have profile wizard to display
the progress bar and it seems that it is re-storing and saving
settings during the logon and logoff.

Thank you again.
