    Hi,

    I'm guessing you're running on Windows 2003 Server there, in which case could you check you have at least Service Pack 1 installed?

    Thanks,

    Good one! This happens when you profile Windows 2003 64-bit editions without SP1 installed. Here are the details and workaround:

    Thanks for this.
    We are on Windows2003 without SP1, which I am installing now.

    But it is not the 64 bit edition

    Hi,

    The issue in the KB article Brian referenced does actually apply to 32-bit editions of Windows 2003 as well, so hopefully that should still solve your problem.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Interesting... why would you disable folder redirection on a 32-bit system, given folder redirection wouldn't be necessary?

    I think technically we didn't need to, but the logic is - from what I remember - "If it's not explicitly running in WOW64 mode (i.e. forced to 32-bit), disable folder redirection".

    I guess it's a slight bug, but not one that appears unless you're pre-SP1.

    Is there a work around that does not involve installing SP1 ?

    Could take a while on my customers server

    thanks

    Brian's KB suggestion of forcing 32-bit (even on a 32-bit server) I believe should fix it, though I haven't tried this myself for a while.
