deleted files show up again&need logs for every user logon.!!

[ChicagoRookie]

I have a network of approximately 60 desktop and 10 notebook users. We run XP desktops and Win 2003(SBS) servers. But We will upgrade ent version soon using transition pack.

1. We have used Group Policy to redirect My Documents, Desktop and Application data for over a year and are finding it to be more trouble than it is worth.
==> under user's profile(logon), they cannot deleted any files. Even though users deleted any files, next logon time, It's back again(look like shortcut to real file located at server.

Is anyone know how to fix this problem?

2. we also try to creat a log file about login time, users, and machine when user log in.
I got some info from one of thread.(scripts.)
But it seems to not working

ex)after I made share folder at server. I put this to logon script on GPO.

set logfile="\\servername\loginlog$\userlog\ %username%.txt"
echo %date% %time% %computername% >> %logfile%

Is anyone help me for this? how to create a log for users?


All info would be appreciated!!
thanks guys.

1. I can't be certain, but I suspect this is a manifestation of Offline Files synchronizing with the server and possibly a setting saying the server takes priority or something similar. Without significantly more info (seeing what happens on logoff, seeing the offline files settings, etc) I can't be certain though.

2. Again, more information would be needed, but I suspect the GPO is not applied appropriately or the script is not named correctly or in the appropriate location.

GPO = Group Policy Object

Well..thank for giving links..

First of all, I guess It isn't about offline sync issues..
I think I've used to use gpo for various my depts. it is working..(mapping drive,login script etc..)

It seems to be permission issues. Every user use own-roaming profile and folder redirection by GPO. that means Gpo is working .. right?
But If users deleted any file on profile, It doesn't seem to link to server(we centrally managed roaming profile on server).
Every kinds of file show up again.It looks user doesn't have permission to delete real file(not the shortcut)
But If I edit some permission at security, I have to take a ownership. so Users lost their profile then.. @.@

How can I solve this issues?

The files/shortcuts that you can't delete, do they look at all like this:

That means what I said - that's the sign that the file has been included in synchronization - used with off-line files.

These files are, by default, being synchronized with the server upon logoff. If the user doesn't have the right to delete the file on the server or perhaps the server has been somehow configured to always get a copy from the server and never delete from the server, then that's why they are returning.
