I have a 2003 Server and 200+ clients mixed XP & Vista (mostly XP). Problem is I have a user that just got his machine replaced with Vista. Before he could access all of the network shares that were mapped to his computer. Before installing replacing users machine I ran the User Profile Migration Tool provided by microsoft, so all of the user's settings migrated to the new Vista machine. The problem is that the user can not access one of the network shares that is mapped to the server. All of the server shares are on the same server. I have boiled it down to the user's machine but i have no idea what else it could be. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Note: I have users with vista machines of identical configuration (same model HPs from same image)

try setting up a new account on this computer without migrating anything in and see if it works then.

I have tried having new users login to machine. It is not profile-specific. I am starting to have other user's report same issue just with different mapped drives.

Seems that it was offline files being enabled that caused the problem. I purged offline files, disabled offline files, then restarted the machines and then users were able to gain access to mapped network shares.
