Signature location on network share...

[fyathyrio8]

My machine is on a domain. The user's directory is redirected to a network
share. I seem to be unable to save new signatures. When I click save, a
progress bar comes up that shows the network path, but progress never
changes. I am able to access the directory using Explorer, create and modify
files. Any thoughts?

If this happened to me, I'd simply edit the signature files directly and not
use Outlook.

That's not exactly a good solution. Considering that I am running a complete
Microsoft solution, this should work. Folder redirection is often part of
setting up a domain. One would think that it would be supported by Outlook.

DId you redirect AppData as well? You can redirect portions of the user
profile without redirecting it all. The company for which I work does that
and it frustrates me a bit. "My Documents" gets redirected to another
location while the remainder of the profile stays in its default location.
That tends to make things a little more difficult to find.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you redirect the entire user profile
to a network share and you use PSTs that are in the default location, you are
now using a PST on a network share and that's strictly unsupported and could
lead to data loss due to PST corruption.
