Offline Files

Not so easy an answered question. Mapping drives [making a folder appear as a shared virtual drive in My Computer on a client that continually logs off one domain, logs onto another domain, or runs offline from a domain [as laptops usually do] is tricky business at best.[see your reference to the MS article Q290523]. When creating a mapped virtual drive for sharing across a network what one really is doing is creating a profile that is stored and then used by server to "reconnect mapped drive upon log on" for sharing that network resource via My Computer [or My Network Places]. Loggin off the network wouldn't necessarily cause the profile to change but logging onto another domain with the same profile just might. Try creating different profiles that your MD uses to log onto the different networks re; his name for your network and say, his initials for another network. That way when he connects to your domain the reconnection to the mapped drive at log on will take place where log on to a different network with a different profile won't try to reconnect that mapped drive[ the mapped drive hasn't been specificed in that particular profile.
