Windows fails to load user desktop

[dinoman88]

Hi,

We're using windows server 2008 and our clients are running windows 7 and if a user logs on. their desktop fails to load. we get an error message saying we're refering to a loacation that doesn't exist (100% it does) and therefore can't load the desktop. The start menu and the home drive will laod fine but the desktop won't.

The strange fix we have found is to;

Enable offline files in the sync centre-> restart. disable offline files -> restart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Craig

Hi Craig,

 

Sounds like this is happening for all users, correct?

 

 

Are the profiles and home folders separate folders?

 

Can you manually navigate to the folder? If not, what error do you get?

 

How are you redirecting desktop to the intended folder?
