Profile is occasionally corrupted

Hi,

I have a network with Windows NT running on the PDC and Windows 2000 clients connecting to the network. One of my users is occasionally having a problem, that is when he logs on his Outlook email and desktop settings are missing. The profiles which exist locally are username, username.domain, username.domain.001, username.domain.002, etc up to 009. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Regards

It seems that the user is logging on locally or to another domain. Was this workstation ever part of another domain?

No it wasn't on another domain. It seems the user logged off, another person logged on for a while using a different logon, then the user logged on again to find his email and settings and documents missing. We have been able to get the email and the documents from the username.domain.00n folders but we still don't know why it happened.

I am pretty confident this has been the problem. I just looked at the users profile and it is currently at 64Mb, while the registry limit was at 65 Mb. I have upped the limit to 100Mb, and slapped the users wrists as most of that space is bloody mp3's.

Thanks
