Error updating local ID file: Cannot write or create file (File or disk is read only)

Recently we recertified are users that were about to expire and now most of them get the following error when logging into their Notes client:

Error updating local ID file: Cannot write or create file (File or disk is read only)

Their ID files on the server are not read only.

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Shawn

If these are windows users, can you verify if there any local restrictions to write to disk or folders such as c:\program files\lotus\notes\data … give full admin rights on local PC to one of them as a test and see how it goes …

Workaround could be to use a back-up copy of the newly certified id file but this could be cumbersome depending upon how many users you got …

The users have full admin rights locally and there are no write restrictions on the data directory or on their ID files on the server.

I still have no idea where the problem is.
