If your clients are in a domain try to enable this policy : "Do not check

After the migration of our openafs Clients on windows XP Machines =A0(Logon=

If I move the profile path (registry) to another location ( Windows network=

It seems that during the impersonation process at the logoff process the to=

Who has any idea for further testing or knows the solution!<br>
