Roaming Profile on Server but not configured on domain

[Guest Rschraeger]

I have 4 new 2003 server that were just setup. Everyone who logs into them

gets a roaming profile on the server. We do not have roaming profiles setup

on the domain nor do we have file redirection.

 

How is this possible and how can we stop it?

a) Roaming Profiles are available only when you use a domain...

 

b) Unless you specifically configured a profile path in the users' ADUC

properties, you do not have roaming profiles. You have locally cached

profiles for any user who logs in at the console (or via RD) to the servers.

 

c) Why are your users logging directly into the server (as opposed to

accessing it across the network) anyway? What is the role of these servers?

I found the issue. The terminal server profile was filled in and the admins

are RDP'ing into the box hense the roaming progife. I set a GP to negate the

roaming profiles on the servers...thanks
