Causes of a corrupt roaming profile in windows server 2003/2008.
Hi,
I don't know if the question has already been posted here, my apologies if it has, but I was wondering what can cause a AD profile to get corrupted? I work in a medium sized company where users frequently use 2 computers at the same time, with the same AD
account. Can this cause the corruption? I've been searching a while via google and the documentation i've found is very meager. Can someone provide me with a best practices list for this? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanx in advance.

Hello,
there can be a conflict if they logoff the same time. During logoff the profile will be saved to the network folder and if the different profiles have different settings it can happen. So avoid the double logon of your users.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
