Thank you folks ... Am I right in saying that there isn't any specific guidance for Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7? I have a number of machines, used by seperate people, that create additional partial profile folders in C:\users for example:- test.user.domainname test.user.domainname.001 test.user.domainname.002 test.user.domainname.003 etc. They all appear to have different contents and are incomplete. I didn't know if the profiles weren't set up correctly OR whether it was additionally installed software on the machines causing the issue. Regards
