Article ID: 182079

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q182079

SYMPTOMS

When a user logs off, all files in the home directory are deleted.

CAUSE

Having both a Home Directory and Roaming Profile set to the same path is a common cause of this.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, perform the following steps:

  1. Start User Manager for Domains, and select the User's properties.
  2. Under the Profile properties, specify a profile path that is different from the home directory path.
It is acceptable to make the profile directory a subdirectory of the home directory.

For example: \\Server\Share\HomeDirectory\Profile.
