Guest JWHM Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Hi I have a problem loggin in on a SBS 2003 system. My workstation is XP-Pro. The system is using roaming profiles. The user home directory (H:) is on a share (\\servername\username$\). When I log in the "My Documents" folder starts to duplicate itself into itself (foldar plu contents). The structure of the folder looks like: H:\My Documents\My Documents\My Documents\My Documents\My Documents\. It is doing so while showing "applying your personal settings" and it continues doing so until I interrupt it (or diskspace on the server is exausted I guess :-( ). Has someone seen this before or (even better!) solved it? Joop

Guest JWHM Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Re: Login problem SBS 2003 Thanks for the tip. I checked, but unfortunately I did not have any junctions in my home dir. Other Ideas?

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Re: Login problem SBS 2003 I'm not aware of any other causes that might be behind your problem but I wonder if your search for junctions was sufficiently thorough. If this was my problem then I would run this command from the Command Prompt: dir /s /ad "d:\UserData" > c:\dir.txt Now search dir.txt for the word "junction". Your last resort would be a reformat of the volume that carries the problem folder.
