Profile issues on some computers

[JoshLTG]

Short version: 1-machine AD domain, served by Windows 2003.

(may or may not be relevant FSMO roles were incorrectly assigned to an old
non-existent server for between 30 and 45 days when the following issue
started.

On some, but not all, windows XP machines users were suddenly unable to use
their roaming profiles and instead get temp profiles. Events are below, but
they're basically the standard "windows cannot copy file..." errors. Yet
the profiles worked fine from other machines, and all profiles do not work on
three of the machines in the domain.

Troubleshooting attempted so far: modified profiles on server, made sure
ownership and traverse permissions, etc, were correct. Also on one machine
tried: 1) unjoin the domain (reboot) 2) rename the machine (reboot) 3) rejoin
the domain (reboot.) Same error messages.

Relevant event log entries follow:

If you have profile-download problems, the first thing to check is that the
network connection itself is reliable. Try XCOPYing a large batch of files.
