Strange User Override problem on WTS

We all know that user overrides can cause strange things to happen but what happened to one of my users is truly bizarre. On all of our terminal servers, this one user got the "invalid overwrite or read" error entering direct vouchers. No one else using this object on WTS got any errors.

When I signed onto WTS using her network user id and her OneWorld user id, I got the error. When I signed onto WTS using MY network user id and HER OneWorld user id, no error. At first, I suspected the problem was with her WTS profile. We tried copying a known good profile to hers with no results. The error did not occur when she was using her fat client.

Then it hit me that if things don't make sense, try deleting the user override. Presto, it worked. I don't know what I find more bizarre, that fact that the error was tied to her NETWORK user id and not her OneWorld user id or that it only happened on WTS.

I thought I should share this experience with the list.
