You are correct. Desktop Authority is the product that you are referring to and one of the pain points that the product is designed to address is the desire to eliminate the need for roaming profiles.
Using a combination of features, including Folder Redirection, Desktop Authority is able to achieve this task. However, the wording "cope with profile corruption" is inaccurate. Having to cope with something would imply that you are still living with it, but are able to get by a little easier. Desktop Authority will allow you to eliminate the need to use the Roaming Profiles at all. I found here that all you have to do is add ". Uver easy now that I know, lol!!!

V2 at the end just like Michael's article says. Am I missing a policy or setting somewhere? Would you know of a way to redirect the bulk of Application Data and Local Settings to a location on the hard drive? However, some apps choose to install ton of files into these 2 folders in the user profile. The resulting profile size is around MB. We need a way to redirect these common files to the local drive, but keep the roaming. Sounds easy except that the install for the apps have no options to change the target location of installation.
I have deleted the profile, the local user account, the network account, disjoined the domain and rejoined. No matter what I do when I try to login with this user account it will only allow me to create a temporary profile. As the thread indiactes I have had this issue with other machines and other accounts so it is not this user account or this machine.
The olny way around it has been to give a person that needs to login to more than one machine is to give them a new account name. That has worked in the past to get around this issue but it is a pain in the butt. Now I have this issue which creating a new account is not going to be the solution. I need to use this account name.

One would assume from this that a statically set roaming profile path would be removed when you re-created the user. It might be quite interesting to do so for the user in question. Alternatively, if you have users that function okay, do these users happen to reside in a different Active Directory OU to those which do not function okay?
Perhaps you could just move the users with the problems into the same OU as the users who do not have problems? The user was having an issue with access to a shared resource on our FS, when the users laptop was docked they could access the resource but when undocked the mapped drive would throw a "can't find this path" error.
After reboot off the dock the share was there and could be accessed, dock and undock and the error would come back. Ran the same steps above on a different laptop and the issue was not there.
Copied the users local data to a share and deleted the user's local profile. Rebooted and added the user back as admin on the laptop, logged in as user and was getting temp profile. Logged in as user and a proper user directory showed up. It was spot on and fixed the issue..
