User profiles on and off network

by wormfarmer . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

I am a problem with laptops. We used to run Win95, and have changed over to NT. I want the laptop to use the same profile when connected to the network and when standalone. On the server, I pointed the user profile to the folder on the laptop, and I also explicitly pointed the user profile on the laptop to the laptop folder.

I end up with two user profiles on the laptop, one called “user” and one called “user.000”. I have been unable to find anything at Microsoft about these, and they don’t seem to synchronize. My users are loosing e-mails between being on the network and being standalone.

Any help would be appreciated.
