Are there any issues switching a user from a roaming profile to a local profile?

  • 772

We have a Windows Server 2003 environment with XP Professional laptops.

If I switch a user from a roaming profile to a local profile in active directory, by clearing the profile path, will this cause any problems on the laptop the user always uses? (They only use one single laptop - the roaming profile setting was set by their previous IT company.)

I.e. would it cause a new profile on the laptop to be created when they log on next or anything silly like that?

I see lots of information changing from local to roaming but not from roaming to local.

    All I can tell you is that I have done it and encountered no issues at all.

    Of course that doesn't mean that there might not be possible issues.
