SRIC IT help... wtf.
So since there isn't an i-club ticketing system, I thought I would start a thread.
I have a user that all of a sudden can't access any documents on his computer.
He is logging in the same way he always has. Nothing has changed. I have tried logging in local to the machine as well as to the network, both attached and unattached to the LAN.
It says he doesn't have rights and that the document "could" have been saved encrypted or with permissions. This happens with everything, Office documents, pdf's, etc. This happens with his local and network user accounts and with my account and the local administrator account as well.
I can't save or move any documents to anywhere either, so if I have to blow the machine away, I'll lose all the crap he has saved locally. I guess, "save everything to the network," doesn't mean anything.
All scans come up clean and when I run system restore from before this started occuring, it does the same thing.
I am about to run repair...
help.

Also have you tried logging into the machine as a local admin and looking at the permissions? Could it be that his permissions are borked.
If it is encrypted take the files and dump them into a drive formatted with FAT32. If you guys are using ms for encryption it should wipe that out.
Also, why don't you put his my docs on a server and redirect his my docs folder to the share on a server??
Just wondering.

His My Documents folder is redirected to the server, but he still saves stuff to his desktop.

possibly a Windewz Update failure...try rolling back to the previous version before the most recent update and see if that makes any difference.
w/ all mikr0soft security updates, they may have changed something in the lisc to make it think it's another user.
