New user account problems...

[Officer57]

Our network (NT4) has been running for over four years without any problems. I've recently had to delete and re-add some users due to problems with thier roaming profiles. Some of these users are experiencing some rather strange problems. For example, three users, once logged on, cannot access MS Outlook. Let any other user log on the same machine and outlook fires up and pulls thier mail. These three users get an "Out of memory" message and the initialization of Outlook dies. Outlook 2K by the way....

Along with this problem, it appears that the users can not save anything to thier profiles either. For instance, if they use AIM, thier information is not saved to thier profile for future use. Another example, they use MS Word which they've used before.... annoying paper clip comes up telling them how to get started.

I've checked permisions and all looks to be the same.

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Bob Couchman

Have you tried creating a new user account and test that? I seem to recall deleting and adding the same user can cause some problems with authentication and permissions - although it's not supposed to happen, it happened to me once. I ended up having to create a few different accounts and ditch the old ones, as they were permanently messed up.
