 ### <a href="" id="settings-do-not-synchronization-when-network-share-is-outside-user-s-domain"></a>Settings do not synchronization when network share is outside user’s domain
 
 When Windows® 8 attempts operating system settings synchronization, the synchronization fails with the following error message: **boost::filesystem::exists::Incorrect user name or password**. This error can indicate that the network share is outside the user’s domain or a domain with a trust relationship to that domain. To check for operational log events, open the **Event Viewer** and navigate to **Applications and Services Logs** / **Microsoft** / **User Experience Virtualization** / **Logging** / **Operational**. Network shares that are used for UE-V settings storage locations should reside in the same Active Directory domain as the user or a trusted domain of the user’s domain.

 ### Unpredictable results with both Office 2010 and Office 2013 installed
 
 When a user has both Office 2010 and Office 2013 installed, any common settings between the two versions of Office are roamed by UE-V. This could cause the Office 2010 package size to be quite large or result in unpredictable conflicts with 2013, particularly if Office 365 is used.
 
-WORKAROUND: Install only one version of Office or limit which settings are synchronized by UE-V.
+**WORKAROUND:** Install only one version of Office or limit which settings are synchronized by UE-V.
 
 ### Uninstall and re-install of Windows 8 app reverts settings to initial state
 
 While using UE-V settings synchronization for a Windows 8 app, if the user uninstalls the app and then reinstalls the app, the app’s settings revert to their default values.  This happens because the uninstall removes the local (cached) copy of the app’s settings but does not remove the local UE-V settings package.  When the app is reinstalled and launched, UE-V gather the app settings that were reset to the app defaults and then uploads the default settings to the central storage location.  Other computers running the app then download the default settings.  This behavior is identical to the behavior of desktop applications.
 
-WORKAROUND: None.
+**WORKAROUND:** None.
 
 ### Email signature roaming for Outlook 2010
 
 UE-V will roam the Outlook 2010 signature files between devices. However, the default signature options for new messages and replies or forwards are not synchronized. These two settings are stored in the Outlook profile, which UE-V does not roam.
 
-WORKAROUND: None.
+**WORKAROUND:** None.
 
 ### UE-V does not support roaming settings between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office
