Group Policy not taking affect

[DanSchlim]

To make this short and simple..... i am utilizing Roaming profiles. I
have two servers that the remove cached copies of roaming profiles is
applied to. all cached copies delete from one server with no problem,
the other server, it appears that when it first boots up, it will
delete the cached copies, but 10-15 minutes later it will not delete
the copies at all. both servers are windows 2003 enterprise. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

Dan-
Are these terminal servers? Sometimes, user profiles don't always close
properly on unload. As a result, resources associated with them get left
open and they can't be deleted. Search the MS download site for something
called the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service. That may help with this
problem.

Darren,
the problem ended up being my symantec antivirus. now i have to
figure out how to get symantec working properly so that the policy will
take affect. according to symantec there is no fix for the problem
yet. thanks for your response.
