Default Network User profile not saving

Background:
I have added my first Windows Vista Business to our Windows 2003 network
domain. User home directories are redirected to a network share via a logon
script (batch file). Note: as far as I know no group policy controlling the
redirection, no roaming is being used.
Issue:
Whenever the user logs off the profile doesn’t get saved and the next logon
appears like it’s the first time logging in to the account. For example: the
folders created are userName (for the first login) the next login creates
userName.001 (for the next login) and so on.
Any suggestions how to resolve the issue? Is it something to do with the
new account structure and I have to modify the logon script?
Thanks,
bjsommerville

Default Network User profile not saving

Thanks Robert, but still no luck. I have change the group membership to
'Standard User' 'Power User' and 'Administrator'. Note: I do have a new Users
profile that has been created usersName.domainName in addition to the
original userName.
userName - contains AppData folder and ntuser.data; ntuser.dat.LOG1; and
ntuser.dat.LOG2 files
userName.domainName - contains AppData folder; all of the standard desktop
items (desktop, Documents, Music, etc.) and ntuser.data; ntuser.dat.LOG1; and
ntuser.dat.LOG2 files.
thanks,
bjsommerville

We had another case I don't remember the details. but try that for a test.
Make the user belong to domain users group only (no domain admins and domain
administrators). If this domain users only account logon, does he have a
profile? Please post back with the result.

Default Network User profile not saving

Robert, I have a correction to the 2nd information posted. (no ntuser.dat
file found on the new profile)
userName.domainName - contains AppData folder; all of the standard desktop
items (desktop, Documents, Music, etc.); ntuser.dat.LOG1; and
ntuser.dat.LOG2 files only no ntuser.dat. I did try the standard user but
will give it a second test with a re-boot.
best regards,
bjsommerville

Default Network User profile not saving

Robert, I have just tried the 'Standard User' account and now have a 3rd user
profile
userName.domainName.000 - contains AppData folder; all of the standard
desktop items (desktop, Documents, Music, etc.); ntuser.dat.LOG1; and
ntuser.dat.LOG2 files only no ntuser.dat file.
Next I will login as the local administrator delete the three network user
accounts and then login to the domain to recreate the user account.
best regards,
bjsommerville
