Local Profile adds domain to end of account

[Guest Garrett1226]

I recently created a new Terminal Services Cluster group of servers. I did a

copy of all the local profiles in Docs & Settings from the orgional Terminal

Server to the new cluster servers. For some reason, a couple of users

generate branch new local profiles when they log into the cluster instead of

utilizing the existing one. The new local profile adds the domain to the

profile name, example; JSmith.MO (where MO is the Domain name). Any ideas

why this would do this for some users but not others? thanks....

Are you sure it's only happening for some users? Unless you've copied

over certain registry entries, you typically can't copy over profiles

and have them picked up.

It is only happening on a handful of local profiles (roughly 10 out of 200)

across the two Clustered Terminal Servers. I have copied profiles many times

from one machine to another and had the profile get picked up on the new

machine when that account logged in. I am also seeing this inside of the TS

Cluster with the vast majority of the accounts. Could the change in local

profile names have anything to do with desktop settings or security not

allowing the account to write over aspects of the copied profile?
