Hi
We're running some test machines running Vista Business SP1 connected to our network. The first thing we've found is that when you first logon to a Vista-networked machine you automatically get a new profile assigned to you - for example an XP profile would be 'example', and a Vista profile would be 'example.V2', so they would end up with two profiles. Therefore all the folder redirections are void etc since we have the 'My Documents' pointing to 'example' not 'example.V2', which is awkward in itself when setting up a network on Vista!
But the main problem we're having at the moment is one of the staff has reported his desktop icons and shortcuts keep disappearing when logging on. We've tried erasing one profile and letting him log back on therefore creating a new profile in the directory. This didn't work.
We've also tried making sure the permissions on his folders are correctly assigned to him in Active Directory.
And no the desktop isn't set to 'Hide Desktop Items'!
Any clues anybody? Would be much appreciated!
