Posted January 21, 201213 yr I have an interesting mystery going on here. I have a client who has a Windows 2008 R2 server. It's pretty new and has no AV software installed (yet) and the firewall is off. Recently, a software vendor installed their software on the server. Pretty basic software for property mgt with a small database backend (embedded in the software). Ok - the software was installed and configured and working for about a week. Only one user (besides the administrator) would log onto the server and use the software. A week goes by, and files/folders only related to this software just disappear. Not in the recycle bin, not deleted, not hidden - just vanished. I ran some recovery tools on the server - didn't find anything related to this software. Ran some other tools to uncover deeply hidden files and show permissions and such on folders and files - nothing. The software vendor came back in, reinstalled the software - it worked again. Another week goes by - it's vanished again. An unexplained mystery. What, if anything, could possibly cause this? I'm at a total lose on this one. Thanks in advance.
