I am trying to set up roaming profiles on my office network (Windows 2000 server and Active directory). My main purpose for this is simple user profile backups since everyone saves everything in either "my documents" or their desktop.
What I want to happen is, when a person logs off, any changes they made locally gets saved to the server. When they log back on I do no want anything to synchronize. The server copy is just a backup should a hard drive fail on a workstation. This is not a backup againts 1D10T errors like deleting a file by mistake.
These are some problems I'm running into and I'm not sure if it is a configuration issue or if this is how roaming profiles are supposed to work.
Can these "problems" be fixed or is this working as intended?

- When a file is delete locally and the user logs out, the file is not deleted from the server. When the user logs back in the deleted file reappears(very very annoying and may blow up space usage.).
- If a file were deleted from the server, when the user logs in the local copy is delete as well(very very bad).
