Let's say when a user log in to a domain to the desktop, they can save file temporarily to the local hard disk. For example they might download some file to the Downloads folder. However when they reboot and log in to the domain with the same account, the file inside Downloads folder will be empty.
I am not sure the technology behind this phenomenon. These are the few that I have come up with.
1. Roaming profile 2. Folder redirection
I have investigated the above methods and it doesn't seem to fit the bill.
So I was wondering if there are group policies that can be used to accomplish it.
I also imagine that the computer might be configured to always boot from a backup image stored at the local drive or a remote server. What I would like to know is which software or solution can achieve it. Acronis Backup & Recovery? Hyper-V? VMWare ESX?
