Bizarre issue - office 2006 pro plu, sp2, installed on multiple w2k3 x64
servers from the same install folder and transform file. Use mandatory
profiles with FPK 6 along wit a PRF files to establish/maintain profile.

pretty consistently, but not always, as a user gets logged onto a different
server than the last one used, Outlook recreates the profile, thus losing
all of the previous setings. Log back on to another server and it does it
again. So after a while the Show Profiles show a profile named Exchange, and
a whole bunch of backups.

Anyone seen this and any clue why one server's Outlook apprently doesn't
like another server's Outlook?
