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....
 
Re: Local Profile adds domain to end of account

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.

Re: Local Profile adds domain to end of account

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?
