Roaming Profiles Do Not Always Update Correctly (191416)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q191416 SYMPTOMS
When you try to use roaming profiles, the profiles may not update
correctly.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if you are using different NetWare network clients on
different Windows 98-based computers. The Novell NetWare Client32 version
2.2 program stores roaming user profiles in a different location than the
Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks using the same user account. Because
these profiles are stored in different locations, these profiles can not
be correctly updated between two computers that are running different
clients.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the same client configuration on all of the
computers you want to use roaming profiles with. For information about how
to do so, contact your system administrator.
