user profiles appended with [domain].000 etc

[Guest]

We have started seeing a new problem here at my work recently. Many user are
having problems with their user profiles. Out of the blue when they log into
their computer they get a new user profile. The new ones have the standard
naming convention; the first one has the domain name appended, the next
domain.000, then domain.001 etc.
We can't seem to find the root cause, but are able to work around by
renaming the original profile with the new name (domain.000 etc) so we don't
believe the profile is either corrupt and we don't believe the profile has
lost it's "Full Control" permission for the user. We are working in an old
NT4 domain.
Any ideas?

If these are showing up, you probably will see some userenv errors in your
local event logs. What do they say?

Well, the first one I have seen today may not be typical. It says
"Windows cannto load the user's profile but has logged you on with the
default profile for the system. DETAIL - The process cannot acess the file
because it is being used by another process."
the very next entry is
"Windows cannot copy C:\Doc.......\NTUSER.DAT to
C:\[myuser_profile]\NTUSER.DAT DETAIL - The process cannot acess the file
because it is being used by another process."

I think the typical error seen however is:
"Windows cannot unload your registry file DETAIL - Acess is denied, build
number 2195

I will continue to look for others with this problem and see what the event
viewer shows, then post accordingly.

Make sure the user has full control over their profile folder on the server.
For the workstation - have you played with permissions on the C drive?

These are local profiles. We have not changed any permissions on C: and
when check all looks good as for permissions.
