Guest oblivion78 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 We seem to be encountering an issue with a few of our clients where a user will log on to a Windows 2000 or Windows XP workstation and their workstation profile will be recreated. When reviewing the C:\Documents and Settings folder the user profiles will be as such: C:\Documents and Settings\USER <--- Original user profile C:\Documents and Settings\USER.DOMAIN <--- User profile after profile is lost Now, in every case, it is an Active Directory user account on Windows Server 2003. We've tried installing the registry hive cleanup service on Microsoft's recommendation to no avail. Also, we haven't been able to trace any event log entries to the cause. The resolution is simply to log on to the workstation as the domain administrator and rename the profile folder: C:\Documents and Settings\USER.DOMAIN C:\Documents and Settings\USER.DOMAIN.OLD After the user logs back in, everything loads correctly. If anyone has experienced this or can shed any light on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Matt
