Hi Marc,
There are Group Policies but nothing Office related. In terms of the default
profile being assigned, we use a .prf file which seems to work OK. Its strange
that the only thing that seems to be affected is the .pst file mapping, and
only to a few users...
Note that all users were migrated onto this network at the same time on the
same day, using the same .prf file and all have Office XP... its got me
flummoxxed... *sigh*

I would check to see if there is a group policy in place possibly restricting
something, it may also be a setting when outlook is installed if the ORK is
used and a custom deployment is setup, and a default outlook profile is
assigned. Hope this helps - Marc

Subject: [ExchangeList] Outlook PST Files and Roaming Profiles
Hi All,
I hope someone has experienced this before... and fixed it :)
I currently have a situation where we have set up an environment using roaming
profiles, redirecting the users My Documents etc to the server. There is and
Exchange 2003 mailserver and clients running Outlook XP.
The problem is that a few, not all, users have PST files on their home folders,
which is OK as it is a 100Mb connection, but what happens is, when the user
logs off and then onto a different machine, the mapping to the PST files are
lost, all other settings come across, just not this.
I thought it may be something to do with the network but I created a new PST
file for an effected user on their desktop, connected to it, logged off and
onto a different machine - same problem, no PST mapping.
If the user logs off then back onto the same machine then it retains the
mapping...
I know that the users could just keep their archived mail in subfolders of
their inbox or in Public folder with restricted rights but its not solving the
problem, its just a workaround. (though this is what we are advising them to do
for the time being...)
I really hope someone has seen this before or has some ideas about how to
troubleshoot?
Sorry this isn't directly Exchange related but at least you are all using
Outlook... :)
