how to shut off roaming profiles from workstaions

Hi, I had roaming profiles on Windows 7 systems to a Server 08 R2 domain, it was great until I was forced to delete the profiles share on the server.  I then shut off the roaming profiles choice in each users profile.  

After that on each workstation they get an error message booting "there was a problem with your roaming profile, you have been logged on with a locally cashed profile"  Or something like that.

I even recreated the profile structure on the server and turned on the roaming profile again to rectify.

Question: is there a way to shut off the roaming profile connection from each workstation?  i only have like 8 so it wouldn't be a big deal.

Thanks Guys.

Hi CrunchyTime,

From what I understand you want to remove roaming profiles for the users so that they will have a local profile that will stay on each of the machines that they log on to.

If they change a setting on MachineA and then log onto MachineB then this setting will not be propogated.

I presume this is an Active Directory environment then you should just need to remove the User Profile from the actual user in the active directory.
