Wondering if anyone's come across this before?

 

I have a user that's running mandatory profiles and group policies to
redirect My Documents to fileserver.

From within Excel 2007 they would create a document, then prepare ->
encrypt and then save or save as the document. 

As soon as they clicked on save it would try to save to the local
Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO\*** location and fail.

Doing the exact same in any other office application saves to the
correct location without error.

Latest office hotfixes do not resolve the issue.

 

Switching the user back to a local or roaming profile fixes the issue,
so it's only down to excel within a mandatory / hybrid.

 

Anyone able to replicate?

 

Thanks

 

Andy
