Duplicate User Profiles

[Guest Derek Da Silva]

Hi Everyone,

 

I've recently built a Win2k3 server. When my users log on the system keeps

creating a new user profile rather than using the existing user profile.

 

For example

 

1) dasilvad logs onto the server and we see the "dasilvad" folder created

under Docs and Settings

 

2) dasilvad logs off then logs back on and then we see another folder

created called "dasilvad.DOMAINNAME"

 

3) dasilvad logs off then back on and then we see another folder created

called "dasilvad.DOMAINNAME.000"

 

How do I prevent the creation of multiple profiles for the same user?

Please note I have all user profiles redirected to a share on my file server

called \\fileserver\profile share. When I navigate the folder I notice only

one profile per user (no duplication).

 

I appreciate any suggestions you have to resolve this issue,

 

Thank you,

D

Re: Duplicate User Profiles

 

Have you checked the EventLog on the server for more info?

My guess would be a permission problem on the \\fileserver\profile

share.
