Cannot obtain CACHED roaming profile

[pvanos]

When logging on with the W2K Prof machine disconnected from the network with NT4 PDC, a change in the registry of \\HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DeleteRoamingCache = 0 is kept after restarting the machine.

When connecting the machine to the network, and logging on to the domain with an NT4 PDC (and policies), I can change the above registry key to 0, but it will ALWAYS return to 1 after restart.
I already tried changing (on the NT4 PDC) the value in Poledit for Default Computer : "Windows NT User Profiles" : unmarking "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles". (Was marked before).

Yet no luck. Cannot keep the DeleteRoamingCache value to 0 on my W2K-prof machine after restart.

The idea was to keep a cached version of a mandatory roaming user profile, to copy it to a new roaming profile while granting a new group rights to it.

Any hints welcome ?

Must be something weird... On all other machines, that have been "ghosted" from this master machine, there even is no DeleteRoamingCache-key whatsoever !
Just on the master machine, this key is there, and returns to 1.

Oh yes, forgot to mention in former msg : when I disconnect the machine from the network (remove cable), and log on as local machineadmin, I can change this key to 0, and it REMAINS 0 even after restarting !! But after reconnecting it to the network, the key changes back to 1.

After removing the key, it comes back after restart.
Maybe something to do with disable registry changes, although I am working as domain admin directly on the machine...
