One of my apprentices was tasked with clearing out unused local profiles and clearing the offline file cache.
After he cleared the offline file cache and rebooted the machine, he would log in as himself and no longer have his "my documents" redirected to the set network location.
More over this seemed to then affect ANY other networked machine he logged into, except his own laptop.
All our standard workstations run Windows XP Service Pack 3, the apprentice's laptop runs Windows 7 Professional.
I can understand how clearing the offline file cache after deleting old local profiles could cause this issue but draw a complete blank as to why it would affect all networked machines.
It's a strange one so this question may be a little hard to understand so any questions or further understanding required please ask.
