Unable to view users domain profile when connected via RDP6 in Windows XP

There are several users who need to be able to view their own domain profile when connection rermotely. We have created successful connectionsto the server both through VPN and RDP.
The problem is that whenever ANY users connect, they don't see their normal "domain profile" they get a default profile.
Is there any way to configure this to allow the users to use their "domain profile" when connected through Remote Desktop.?

Not unless you implement roaming profiles..but why are users connecting to the server?
Your question is placed in the Small Business Server zone.  If you are using SBS 2003 or SBS 2008, then users should be connecting to their own deskstop computers using RWW.  Then they will see their normal profile.

With sbs 2003 they could view their roaming profile through remote desktop to the server, even though their PC was switched off. They could work quite happily then.
Do you mean that with SBS2008 they can only access their own roaming profile (which we have enabled) if their PC is switched on? Has this previous feature been disabled with SBS2008?
