I am having problem with some of my user profiles. They are losing their profiles when logging off. I have to reconfigure e.g. their Outlook over and over again. This has happened with different machines, all of them running NT4.0 Workstation. I feel puzzled. Can someone help!?
Thank you

If you have a profile with like this "joe.000" It mean that the profile joe was ignored by the network login process and created all new profile from the default profile. Therefore you need to reset things such as Outlook. This I found was caused bybad or very slow network connections. Once I install a new hub and wiring. The problems disappeared. We only get them now when there appears to be a network overload and someone is logining in.
