Vista - RE: Administrators' profiles deleted when having Guest status

Hi,

Thank you for posting.

I have tested this issue on my Windows Vista machine and I can reproduce
this issue:

If an domain user belongs to both Domain Guests group and a client's local
Administrators group, when logging on this user account on the client, a
temporarily user profile is created. When logging off this account, this
user profile will be deleted.

It is not recommended to add Domain Users group to (Domain) Guests group.

Now if you would like to prevent users from leaving behind profiles on
clients while preserve administrator profiles, you can use the following
method:

1. For non- clients' administrator domain users, add them to Domain Guests
group. When logging on them on clients, only temporarily profiles will be
created

2. For clients' administrator domain users, add them to clients' local
Administrators group. When logging on them on clients, permanent profiles
will be created.

If anything in my e-mail is unclear or you need further help, don't
hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely,
Tim Quan

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I understand it is time-consuming. However, I am afraid that you have to do
so manually since this is the only way to resolve this issue at the current
situation .
