Profile status is stuck on "Local"

[Dherrera]

one of my user's profile will not change to roaming. ive tried changing the profile type in the user settings but that didnt work. as a result of this the profile is not updating on the server. i tried deleting the profile folder from the server to check if it would create a new profile folder and it did but the folder is empty.
any ideas?
