Consider the following scenario. In a Active Directory domain environment, you configure the following settings for users in the domain:

• You enable the User must change password at next logon setting for users in the domain.
• You configure the users to use roaming user profiles.

Then, a domain user logs on to the domain for the first time from a Windows Vista-based client computer. In this scenario, Windows Vista does not download the network-based default user profile from the from the Netlogon share. However, Windows Vista loads the local default user profile.

Note: This problem also occurs when the user password has expired and the user changes the password before logging on to the domain.
