I've had the problem with the user profile being lost for some time now with just one of the fifty clients on my domain. The computer in question is a sales rep's notebook that is mostly out of the office. Quite frequently and only when he logs on to our domain the user profile gets lost and a new one gets automatically created. My solution to date has been to log on as administrator and do a system restore. This works fine so long as I don't pick a restore point from the previous day. The corruption seems to occur the time he was logged on to our domain previously to the time that the problem shows itself, which makes some sense. This thread has established that the problem is corruption of the user profile, or at least registry entries associated with the profile and gives a few solutions to correct the problem when it occurs. What I'd love to know though is what is causing the problem in the first place so I can treat the cause and not just the symptons. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
