This is happening in our environment as well. Did you ever find if Des was experiencing the temp profile? Booker T.

You should be able to see if this is true. When you notice this, have the user right-click the start menu and choose Explore. That will bring Explorer up focused on their current profile and if the path is something like c:\documents & settings\temp, then that is what is going on.

This works perfectly and enables us to backup user files each evening. The problem: periodically the user loses their "My Documents" locally. It appears the link to the server simply disappears, when the user clicks My Documents a blank folder opens. This does NOT affect any other mapped shares or printers on the same server. It affects only the folders mapped by GPO using folder redirection. A reboot of the desktop fixes the problem for several hours. We have verified network connectivity ( i.e. logon and logoff scripts run quickly without error and redirection of My Documents always works at log on ) but the intermittent nature of this has us baffled as this problem is showing up across our AD with a number of users in different physical locations and subnets. Any ideas what is happening? Can anyone suggest how we can troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance for ANY assistance you can provide.
