Hi Andrew,

well I hope to get it sorted now (I should learn english :-) ):

I have a box (systemname: SERVER) with a local user called LCLUSRN configured 
to autologon. There are some programs configured to startup automatically when 
the user logs on and there are two services which run in the context of that 
user.

After the image restore of the box the system starts up the first time. In 
order to restore CatRoot and systemobject autologon is disabled (press SHIFT). 
I logon as local Admin and run TSM to restore CatRoot and Systemobject.
At that point there's only one Profile "Documents and Settings\LCLUSRN".
After restore operations autologon is configured for User LCLUSRN and the 
system is booted second time. I don't interrupt autologon as the system should 
go into operation now.
The user LCLUSRN logs on however applications don't start up.

Looking into Documents and Settings I have two profiles for User LCLUSRN, 
meaning
LCLUSRN and
LCLUSRN.SERVER

During that last startup the system has choosen the profile LCLUSRN.SERVER but 
not profile LCLUSRN. That means there aren't any programs to startup as the 
profile LCLUSRN.SERVER is copied off the Default User profile.

Hopefully I could spell out my problems more clearly by now?


Regards,

Egonle
