My company is currently using a terminal server with Windows 2003 Enterprise
edition with all the current updates. I have a group policy configured to
delete the cached roaming profiles when a user logs off. For a long time
this worked without any problems, but now it is not copying off the whole
profile. When a user logs off the terminal server this part of there profile
remains:

Username
Start menu
Programs

Since that is left on the terminal server the next time they log in a new
profile is created and it looks like Username.domainname.000. Then after that
Username.domainname.001 and so forth. There are no files that I can see in
the profile that is left on the server just the directories mentioned above.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks for your time!

Anything in the EventLog on the server?
Do you use folder redirection of the Start Menu?
Have you tried the UPHClean utility?

Thanks for the reply, but I found out what the problm was. I will post it
here incase anyone else has this same issue.

About a month ago I installed a new version of Spysweeper from Webroot and
for some reason that was holding up the profiles from being compied over
completely. As soon as I uninstalled Spysweeper everyhting started working
normally again.

Thanks for the reply.
