User profile created as user.domainname in Terminal Service server

[Guest Romain]

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

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.
