Recovering from accidentally configuring your DLU policy as"volatile"
How to change a volatile user to a non-volatile user on a workstation if you accidentally configuring your DLU policy as "volatile"
Resolution
Backup the user's profile.
On the workstation, If "Enable Volatile caching" is ON under control panel | zenworks agent options | settings, you can turn a volatile user to a non-volatile user without having to reboot Windows by deleting the following names in the registry:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/ProfileList/S-1-5-21-....(SID)/
Volatile User [equal] account name
Additional Information
Unfortunately, you can't turn a volatile user to a non-volatile user on the fly if "Enable Volatile Caching" is OFF. With "Enable Volatile Caching" set to OFF, the volatile user flag is stored in memory.
See the following TID for a patch that enables you to change a volatile DLU user to a non-volatile DLU user from the DLU policy:
