cannot load nk2 file on win8 redirecting appdata to server 2012 outlook 2010

When redirecting appdata to the server, I cannot load the previous nk2 file for outlook 2010. under C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ there is no outlook folder, What is the correct procedure to load the NK2 file on a windows 8 computer redirecting docs, desktop and app data back to the server?
also a search for folder microsoft\outlook comes up "no matches" and view hidden files is turned on.

Outlook 2010 does not have an NK2 file. That stopped with Outlook 2007. So there is no need to back up the NK2 file.

You need the Stream Autocomplete file.

I converted 17 computers from XP to WINDOWS 8, all NK2 files updated using the manual system (the roaming directory one) This one PC, set up identically to the others refused to function properly.
I tried the manual ways and they didnt work. So I let "FIX IT" run and it worked.
For some reason with redirection back to the server 2013, it couldnt find the NK2 file, no matter where I put it. (I even copied it onto the server files)
FIX IT FoR ME WORKED. Thank you for the help.
