I inherited an 2008 AD server with no documentation that seems to be set up correctly and has been working fine for the most part. APPDATA and documents are redirected to server network shares over the LAN. However 1 by 1 more users kept having issues retrieving settings. Turns out when they change PC, almost none of they're settings follow them(especially outlooK).
The files are still accessible via the network and sometimes the user can only access a temporary profile when logging in.
Desktop nor Start menu was setup for redirect either.
Could it be users lack the security permissions(they're locked down pretty tight) or an issue with folder redirects.
EDIT: I think it's because outlook and some other apps look for profiles and settings in the local folder not appdata so when a user loads on a new PC, these pre-installed apps find nothing relvant to that user.
