What caches affect roaming profiles? When a couple users on my network login/logout they experience a MAJOR delay with sync'ing their home folders etc.

So, what caches/folders/temp files can I delete that could affect this process? A previous employee cleared something that affected their roaming profiles. They went from a 5 minute wait to 30 seconds. So, something is building up and taking forever.

Any help on fils I can safely delete that might affect a romaing profile would be appreciated.

I'm running Server 2003 with Windows XP-Pro clients.

Thanks.

any thing in a normal profile is in a roaming profile.

Take a look at the profile and see how large it is.

My documents
My pics
My music
desktop
local settings\temp
local settings\temp internet
PST file if any

You can use group policy to limit what you want in your roaming profile folder. whatever you do not want going from PC to PC when the user logs in can be excluded from the roaming profiles folder.

local settings and temp files are 2 files that are excluded by default.

hope this helps.
John
