My users have laptops that they use both on the road and in the office. I'm having a problem with the profiles. The user has two of them. One for his domain logon and one for the local logon for when he's not in the office. How can I just have one profile for the user?

Thanx

Seen this question quite a few times - don't know if there is a definitive answer. You could try specifying the domain profile name in the user details for the local user (eg, run lusrmgr.msc, go to properties for the user and profile path on the profile tab. Type the user's domain folder, eg C:\Documents and Settings\user.domain here). But I'm not sure if windows will like that (may just create another profile folder) or if it does, that it won't upset the domain profile next time user logs onto domain (so I'd try this out on a pair of test profiles on a test machine first).
 
If the user is loging on to a Domain in the office it should cache (hmm did I spell that right) here passwords, so they can login to the domain when away.. not sure if thats what your asking since I did not have any more information on your network configuration.
