RE: redirected-redirected folders

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your update.

For further analyze the issue to find the root cause, we need more
information. Please kindly help me collect the following information:

1. What is the exact error message you received? Can you help me collect a
screen shot when reproduced the issue?
2. Enable UserENV log on both workstations and send the log files to me.

Use Registry Editor to add the following registry value (or modify it, if
the value already exists):

Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

Value: UserEnvDebugLevel
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 10002 (Hex)

After you make this change, restart the computer. The log file is written
to the %SystemRoot%\Debug\UserMode\Userenv.log file.

Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=221833

3. Save the texts of the application and system logs for analyze:

To save a text copy of Application /System log:

A. Open Event Viewer: Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools ->
Event Viewer.
B. Right-click on Application/System log and select "Save Log File As?".

Please compress log files and mail it to mailbox: junzhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I appreciate your time! Additionally I will be out of office from 28th Jan
to 5th Feb with limited internet access. The email response will be
delayed. For Microsoft newsgroup user, please do not hesitate to contact my
backup engineer, Cliff Zhang at junzhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, and he will be glad
to be of assistance. I am sorry for bring you inconvenience.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

>>
>> 2. Do not use Encrypted File System (EFS) on files in a roaming user

>> The temporary profile is created in the user''s context as part of the

>>

>>

>>
>> 5. Use at least Windows 2000 servers to host user roaming profile shared
>> directories.
>>
>> Because a users roaming profile contains personal information which is
>> copied to and from a client computer, and the server hosting the roaming
>> profile, it is important to ensure that data is protected as it travels
>> over the network. Potential threats to the privacy and integrity of a
>> user''s data come from intercepting the data as it passes over the
network,
>> tampering with the data as it passes over the network, and spoofing the
>> server hosting the user''s data. Features such as Kerberos, IPSec, and
>> Server Message Block (SMB) signing included in Windows 2000 and the
Windows
>> Server 2003 family can help to secure a user''s data.
>>
>> 6. Always use the NTFS file system for volumes holding user''s data.
>>
>> Configure servers hosting roaming profiles to use the NTFS File System.
>> Unlike FAT, NTFS supports Discretionary access control lists (DACLs) and
>> system access control lists (SACLs), which control who can perform
>> operations on a file and what events will trigger logging of actions
>> performed on a file.
>>
>> After verifying above settings, please see if the issue be fixed.
