Hi,
I have 2 DC and 2 member servers configured as Terminal Service where user
can log on to as they will on an XP station (App mode). All runs Windows 2003
SP2 R2
Note that I am using roaming profile and folder redirection using group
policies
My question is: why some of the user have their profile created as
C:\Documents and Settings\username.domainname and other simply created as
C:\Documents and Settings\username?

No user with the same name have never been created locally and I don't think
there is a profile corruption.
I know that I can 'convert' or change this by a registry tweak but I am
just wondering why Windows act like this.

If anyone could light my lantern...
Thanks
 
Re: User profile created as user.domainname in Terminal Service server



Domain name is added to a user profile if the user already has a username
profile folder. This happens when GP is used to differentiate between a
local profile and a domain one.
