I have a client who had roaming profiles setup for the users on an old Windows 2000 server. &nbsp;We installed a new Windows 2003 server and the migration when mostly well except that one of the user's profiles is looking for the old server to load the desktop every time you login. &nbsp;As long as you keep offline files enabled on his PC it will pull from offline files and run smoothly, but as soon as you disable offline files, you get an error when logging in that it cannot access \\oldserver\profiles\user\<wbr />desktop\. &nbsp;Looking at the properties of the user shows the Profile field pointing to the new server. &nbsp;I tried removing the PC from the domain and readding it, but to no avail. &nbsp;Any ideas?

It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
