Hello.
I try to avoid local copy of user profile with GPO.
So, I have defined rules and server directory for "Documents", "Application
Data" and Desktop...
But environment variable "USERPROFILE" (in DOS shell of client PC) has
stillthe value "C:\Documents and Settigs\%USERNAME%".
What I mistake?

So you configured Roaming Profiles? I believe that this requires you
to log off/log on twice before it takes effect. Also make sure that
the permissions on the share where you have the profiles stored are
correct. I apologize if I missed what you are doing, it's kind of
tough to understand exactly what you said.

Logging ON and OFF once with authentication against a replicated
DC is required. (That might look like two logoffs but this is not the
critical point.)

Are you authenticated? (Check command line "set logonserver").

Log user on and off.

Expect a LOCALLY CACHED COPY of a Roaming profile too,
unless you have set something to delete those.
