Posted October 15, 200717 yr Vistax64 Business Windows 2003 R2 Our system is set up to use roaming profiles and folder redirection (scenario 3 in the "Managing Roaming User Data Deployment Guide"). To summarise: I have checked on the server and the user account has a profile path set: \\server\share\username. I can see this from the client computer when logged in as username. Folder redirection has been set to \\server\user_data\%USERNAME% \Application Data for My documents etc. Again I can see this and subdirectories from the client computer. This has been working fine for some time. Over the weekend I was using the computer offline and now, having reconnected to the network, the account seems to have lost most of its settings. Specifically: - Starting programs is like they are being started for the first time - Mapped network drives have disappeared. Although they are still visible in synchronization partnerships - Recent items list is empty - Start menu shows nothing on recent programs list Another symptom is that nothing I do seems to be "saved". For example if I go into the Start menu properties and uncheck the options under privacy click OK etc, those settings are not saved. Another example: There are no recent items shown in Office applications. But the \\server\User_Data\username\Application Data \Microsoft\Office\Recent shows lots of files I have logged off and on and restarted repeatedly. Obviously I'm very lost so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
