Roaming Profile and Folder Redirection Issues

Having some issues with users folders and desktop icon disappearing when they are off the company network. One use that has a roaming profile has issues with all his icon disappearing whenever he unplugs from the company network and restarts his PC. When he would plug back into the network and resume from a sleep his icons would again re-appear.

What can I check to avoid this strange happenings.

My question is why are you using roaming profiles for devices that need to operate when not connected to the network. Since the profile loads from a network share each time they log in this may not be the best solution. I typically only use roaming profiles for VDI and Terminal services and use local profiles for laptops. You can use a local profile and still redirect user data to a server and make those files available offline.

Scott Gorcester..what would be the proper setup with users that are using a laptop and want to either see sync items when away from our network or in the building plugged into our network?
