How do I use my domain profile on my laptop when I am outside the domain network? Is there an easy way to change/move domain profile to local? or is there a way to login to my laptop using my domain account even if i am outside the network?
thanks.

A cached copy of your Domain Profile is stored on the Workstation. You should be able to logon to the Workstation when you are not connected to the Domain. If you have Policies enforced in GPO that remove the Cached Profile when you log off you will not be able to logon to the Workstation. Simple test is to log off the Domain and remove the Flylead, try to logon, if successful you are good to go. Do not save important Documents or Data in My Documents on the Workstation, create a seperate Folder to save in. Do not change the Workstation from the Domain to a Workgroup as you will lose the Cached Domain Profile. To get it back you will have to reconnect it to the Domain, and then logon.
I have not tried this method but it may work. Look for the Accepted Solution.

... all of our laptop users log in using cached credentials when on the road. There is definately a policy to prevent this, all I have no idea why anyone would want to.
Cheers,
