Roaming profiles deleting themselves
Hi All,
I just wondered if anybody had experiance with roaming profiles deleting themselves.
We have 40 xp pro clients and 1 windows 2000 server.
Every so often, a user will log onto the domain and have files missing, these files are also missing on the server profile.
I am thinking about reducing the number of users that have roaming profiles and make everyone possibile local with MY Documents and email redirected to a network share.
Does this sound like a way forward as the roaming profiles seem to be hit and miss sometimes.
Thanks in advance.

Answer Wiki:
We had big problems with a particular release of our workstation antivirus dvp software.
On Logoff the dvp would hold a lock on the NTUSER.DAT and NTUSER.LOG files meaning that they could not be copied back to the server.
If a user then logged back on the the same workstation, the roaming NTUSER.DAT could not be copied back to the workstation, as the most recent copy was still locked.
A reboot between logons got around the problem (not very good I know).
The issue has since been fixed in a subsequent release of our DVP - although we could have got around it by excluding NTUSER.DAT and .LOG files from being scanned.
If the problem is repeatable - I'd suggest turning off DVP and see if this fixed it. If so - compare your versions against workstations without the problem.
Size of roaming profile also had an effect.
We now redirect the MyDoc's etc to a location under the users home directory.
We also prohibit the saving of anything other than shortcuts to the desktop.
