PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you use User Manager to change a user's profile information, the
changes may not take effect immediately.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This situation occurs because the new user profile needs to be
replicated to the primary domain controller (PDC) and all the backup
domain controllers (BDCs).
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
You can use the following procedure to force the replication of the
new user profile to ensure the newly entered data is set for the
user's next logon:
 
1. Start Server Manager (SRVMGR.EXE).
 
2. Select the PDC from the Servers list.
 
3. From the Computer menu, choose Synchronize Entire Domain.
