SYMPTOMS
When a user logs off, all files in the home directory are deleted.
CAUSE
Having both a Home Directory and Roaming Profile set to the same path is a common cause of this.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, perform the following steps:
- Start User Manager for Domains, and select the User's properties.
- Under the Profile properties, specify a profile path that is different from the home directory path.
It is acceptable to make the profile directory a subdirectory of the home directory.
For example: \\Server\Share\HomeDirectory\Profile.
