Server Loading temporary profiles
I am looking after another IT guys client's while he is away on holidays for 8 weeks. One of his clients has a very strange setup.
They have a 2011 SBS server stand alone, and a 2003 server stand alone.
The 2003 server is not connected to the domain and is stand alone. Users log into this sever via RDP.
The problem that keeps occurring is this .
Person A logs onto the server via RDP all is well.
Person B logs onto the server using Persons A computer however there own profile - all is well.
Person A logs onto the server again on there normal computer, a temporary profile is loaded instead of the users correct profile.
Person B logs on there own computer The server now loads a temporary profile also.
If they stay on there own computers and don't use other computers to connect to the RDP then all is well. However the moment they log into the server from another computer every thing breaks.
Now I would love to ditch the stand alone and just connect to the domain. However,this is not my site I am only a care taker
Any ideas and suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

The user work stations are stand alone.
The login details for the 2003 RDP are coming from the 2003 server also,

Do you have profile paths on your 2003 server accounts?

There seems to be a. Bat that maps to the 2011server for network drives however that is all. AD does not seem to be installed on the 2003 server, the user accounts look like widows xp ones almost I have not come across this before.
