I have had a problem with 3 Win2000 machines where all of
the user profiles have been deleted from the machine. Has
anybody else had this problem.
 
Hi Steve. It sounds like malicious activity to me and could be done either locally
or over the network by somebody that has gained administrator access to those
machines or by booting from floppy/cdrom. I would try to audit log on events on your
computers and possibly the documents and settings folders for "delete" attempts
[object access would also need to be audited]. If you are connected to the internet
without a firewall, this could be happening from the internet. Go to
http://scan.sygatetech.com/ and run quick scan to check your vulnerability to the
internet. --Steve
