Question : Roaming Profile

An user in my company having issues with his roaming profile.. When he connects on his computer, the applications are not loading such as ( outlook, indesing ). He gets error message " script not loaded". Some share drives were not loading...The same problem when he connected into another computer.
So i decided to restore his profile on the date it was working correctly. So i asked the administrator to restore and reactivate the profile on the particular date.
I deleted his local profile in his usal computer and then i asked him to log on. Everything is ok . the profile is created locally on documents and settings.
But when he connected on another pc, he is connecting with the old profile ( the corrupted one).
So i asked him to reconnect in his own pc. He gets error msg at startup " the roaming profile could not be loaded locally....", then logged in...When i had a look in documents and setting, his profile already created locally, is missing, i see only a folder " Tmp " which contains my documents, desktop ...
In client pc's we are using XP sp3.
Can anyone help me how to fix this issue ?

Answer : Roaming Profile

The new profile should be checked on the server to ensure that the timestamp is correct. If the time is synchronized throughout system, then the server stored rofile should automtically overwrite the corrupted ones that the user generated on the machines that they logged onto. The admin should be able to modify the GP to ensure that the profiles are only used from the server since you indicated that they use multiple machines anywhere in the system. If they don't do this then they will have a nightmare in tracking what users profiles have and where. Especially if the machine has a clock that is not synchronized with the server. A local profile is only useful if a user works on the same machine most of the time.
A simpler solution would be to use mandatory profiles stored on the server. This would force the same profile to be used at all times on any machine. It can be copied from a local machine to a server and then converted to a mandatory profile. Simpler, easier and more consistent.

If the server is Win2k8 or win2k8 R2 then the Netsh command can be used to add and delete profiles:
