SBS 2003 My Documents Redirect to wrong user
I have a XP pro machine that is redirecting My documents folder to wrong user.
When I logoff the machine it gives me errors saying that it cannot synchronize to the user folder on the server.
The logged on user is setup to go to correct folder on server, but when he logs off the local machine it is somehow pointing to the wrong user.
