Re: Issues with Mandatory Roaming profiles
There is a hotfix you can get for Win2k3 that allows you to specify
mandatory profiles. I do not believe that hotfix would allow you to do the
same thing with Win2k. I had a client who trioed and it didn't work. Just
because it's GPO doesn't mean it works for every version.
That GPO you mention only does roaming profiles, not mandatory. yes they
are different. If mandatory profiles are setup correctly they will
automatically remove themselves when the user logs off. No GPO or any
setting is needed.
It sounds to me like you are confusing mandatory and roaming profiles.
