Re: Corupted Profiles?

Russ,
Thank you for your reply. Coincidentally these machines are using Mcafee.
Some with the 2004 version (no firewall) and some with the 2005 version.
This has happened to machines with both types of Mcafee. I plan on
replacing Mcafee with TrendMicro CSM in about six weeks time when the Mcafee
subscription come due. I mange a couple of other SBS2003 sites that already
use TrendMicro and have not had this problem with them... so anecdotal as it
may be your experience seems consistent with mine. Also, the first time I
encountered this I rebuilt the local user profile and rejoined the domain.
The second time it happened I just shut down the workstation and it worked
like normal when restarted... no need to rebuild the profile, just a need to
reboot the workstation. Simple, but annoying.
Thanks again.
