Has anyone seen this problem? I have Windows 2003 SP2 running on a few
servers in terminal services mode with a GPO policy to delete locally cached
profiles. The problem I am experiencing is that the user’s profiles are not
getting completely deleted. The index.dat file, cookies folder and local
settings folder remain on the servers. Now every time when users login they
get a new user profile folder with their name appended with a new number
(.001 )

What can I do to make sure the profiles get completely deleted?

Thanks,

Lenny

The only times I have seen this happen was due to either permission or
connectivity issues that needed to be solved.

Frankster,

Thanks for getting back. What in particular should I check for regarding
permissions?

Re: Roaming and local cached profiles

Just make sure they have read/write/delete (usually full) file permissions
in their profile directory. Also that the share itself allows them full
permissions.
