"Backup" profile type in User Settings (System Properties Dialogue
Posted by Bradwin on April 4th, 2006


I administer a domain based LAN. Recently two of my accounts have not been
able to log onto their roaming profile but were logged on to a Temp profile.
The User Settings in System Properties>Advanced shows the local profile to be
a "backup". It cannot be changed.

What can be done to restore these two accounts to their roaming profiles?

I appreciate any help, thanks....
