users not getting there profile

windows 2012 AD.
several users not getting there profile (Dfs) when logging in to server(rds) instead they get c:/users/temp one .
the pattern is there all users that have been previously disabled. then enabled (we disable any that have not been active for a set time )
any ideas as to a resolution ?

right. we don't set a path on ther account. they just get created in the c:\users folder.
perms are fine some are full admins. and new accounts work
so my mistake. dfs just redirects some folders. nothing to do with profile.
my problem user logs on and gets a temp folder profile instead of his name. I've removed the ref keys in profile list

so a rephrase. why would disabling an account mess up local profile ? once it's been re enabled

Daryl Ponting

Disabling and re-enabling an account shouldn't mess up the local profile.

You say you've removed the profile from the profile list. Is the user's profile folder still there in the C:\Users folder?

sorry. I mean I can fix. by removing the folders. in users and removing the ref entry in profile list. but it does affect everyone who has had account disabled. I have yet to see it happen to a normal account that's not being disabled. it's nit happened on dev rig either but less users of course
