Windows User's Profile Settings Revert to Defaults

There are several reasons why a user's profile settings may revert to default settings. Here are some things to try.

• If the user profile location is not blank in the Windows pane of Workgroup Manager, the default share point for user profiles will not be used. In this case, the user profile location must specify a valid SMB/CIFS share point. Make sure the user profile location specifies a share point that exists. See Managing SMB/CIFS Share Points for more information.
• Make sure the home directory is specified correctly in the Windows and Home panes of Workgroup Manager. These panes should be configured in one of the following ways:
  • If the home directory path in the Windows pane is blank, make sure the correct home directory location is selected in the Home pane.
  • If the home directory path is not blank in the Windows pane, make sure the home directory path specifies a valid SMB/CIFS share point.
• The drive letter chosen for the user's home directory may be conflicting with a drive letter that's already in use on the Windows workstation. Remedy:  change either the drive letter setting in the Windows pane of Workgroup Manager or the mappings of other drive letters on the workstation.
