You want to enable offline files on the laptops so that you user's profiles (and any additional data you specify) will be synchronised with the server.<br />

Thanks. &nbsp;Any idea why it sometimes (most times actually) works without enabling offline files?

I always want users to be able to access their laptops with their normal profile whether they are connected to the domain or away at a conference, at home or travelling. &nbsp;This sometimes happens without any action by me but sometimes it doesnt and I cant see why that should be. &nbsp;Is there something I need to do to ensure that users dont have to use a local logon (and therefore see a different profile) when off the domain?<br />

Thanks

Using a laptop on a domain and off-site with same profile

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
