Hi Bill
The server will synchronise the roaming profile with the cached copy and
ensure the local copy is up to date with the server version. That is what it
should do. Sometimes this fails due to factors such as a profile that did
not unload properly after the last logout (refer uhpclean utility for more
information on this). I seem to recall the WISPTIS.EXE app (for tablet PC's)
that is always launched by Adobe - sometimes would lock a profile so it
would not unload. This meant each time the user logged onto the machine the
same cached profile was loaded instead of the version from the server -
because the profile was already loaded in the registry and could not be
overwritten - if that makes sense ....
Bottom line if you are set to use roaming profiles then the local profile
will be synchronised from the central store. Bear in mind the synch will
only be done against the current version of the profile on the central
server i.e. if you have user logon to TS1 and add a printer and then have
the same user login to TS2 without first logging off TS1 the printer will
not come through. Same goes if the user logs off TS1 before TS2 - TS2's
version of the profile will overwrite the version TS1 put there so the
printer add will be lost.

Hi, Bill.
Have you checked into UPHclean?

The proper behavior for roaming TS profiles should be as you described, but
in reality it often doesn't work that way. UPHclean resolves the bulk of
these cached profile problems.

Roaming profiles used on a file server. TS profile pointing to this
location. Terminal Server is W2K and is keeping a cached copy of the
profile.
Does the server always use the cached copy? I thought that the roaming
profile was pulled in, copied locally and then upon logoff, copied back out
to the TS profile location. This doesn't seem to be the case.
