Pretty funny about the printer. Always have to work backwards. Common things are common.
Roaming profiles are the greatest thing since slice bread but can be annoying. I know Adam and I turned them off after awhile. But, there's agreat example. Roaming profiles are basically turned on at the server level after making a shared folder ANYWHERE, then going into a user profile and typing in the path at the proper place. So, if you take the path out, then the roaming goes back to local.
The roaming profiles work great when a user such as your MA always logs out before he/she logs onto another computer. Because when she logs off all of her Documents and Settings including her desktop and favorites, etc. are uploaded to the server in her account in the Profiles folder. That would be the newest profile for her. Now, when she logs onto the other computer (which will AlWAYS still have a local profile), the computer will look at the local profile and say, "Hmmm that profile is from 5/22/08 at 4:28:37; let's see what the profile on the server is -- I see 5/24/08 at 6:40:24. I will load that one because it is the newest." So, that is the profile which will look identical to her last computer and will also populate the local profile and on and on.
Now, the problem for me as the physician is I have three computers I use: my office, room 1 and room2. And I am logged onto all of them at the same time. I obviously don't want to go from room to room and have to log back in and open Amazing Charts each time. This confuses the server and all hell can break loose. It won't hurt the computers at all. I just ended up with about two thousand icons on my desktop. The theory is great.
What's your warranty?
