I guess I would go after root cause and figure out WHY the home dir and
profile are getting creamed. I mean files being deleted from the homedir
is not good beyond just this app.

They do have home directories.
But these users even the Home directory gets overwritten.
I know that if Timesaver doesn't FIND the tswin (which is int he windows
folder in their profile) it creates a default blank one.
then when they log out it over writes the one in the home directory
profile.
Whats odd is, we make a copy of the tswin file for that very purpose
just in
case the original gets overwritten, but it is deleted when this occurs.

No idea if it needs to be writable. BUT my question is do your users
have homedirectories? Doesn't sound like it. If they did you would have
a windows Sub dir in there and this is where the file would reside
(corrupt profile or not)
Also why not right a little script that just checks to see if the file
is there. If it isn't then copy it in....

We serve out Timesaver to our customers, In the user profile is a file
called TSWIN.ini. This file contains specific info that has to be
retained
across the multiple servers we balance timesaver across. I have been
using
Roaming profiles for this, but we are having a small but continuous
problem
with the profile getting wiped out. I think to solve this I should set
mandatory profiles for those users, but I am not sure if the Tswin file
needs to be writable, anyone know?
