SYMPTOMS

When you log on to a Kerberos realm, the terminal server profile path and home directory may be ignored. Instead, the terminal server logon may use the regular roaming profile, and this may cause problems with profile consistency.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the Graphical Identification and Authentication file (Msgina.dll) does not retrieve the user name before it retrieves the terminal server user properties. Note that this only makes a difference when the KDC is not running on Active Directory.
