Hi David, I don't know if you have this fixed, yet, but I suspect this might cure your issue. Sometimes in a TS environment the user hive is not properly unloaded, and the way to do this without rebooting is to manually unload. If you've gotten this fixed with a reboot or some such, perhaps this will be of some value down the road. 1. Download getsid.exe (Can get it from the Microsoft site) 2. Go to a command prompt and type: getsid \\servername username \\servername username. This compares the sid of a user on two domain controllers (pretty sure this can be run against the terminal server/s as a parameter, as well). Once you've obtained the proper sid... 3. Open up regedt32. Nav to HKEY_USERS and look for the sid that matches the username you queried. There are usually two entries for the user, which would be something like: S-1-5-21-1823904209-1349024928-8394082193-13632 S-1-5-21-1823904209-1349024928-8394082193-13632_Classes You'll always see the second one (_Classes) if the hive failed to unload properly. Click on the entry, then go to Registry -> Unload Hive. Voila. Also, as Tasita suggested, I've found since I have started using UPHClean on all of my Terminal Servers, I haven't really had many profile issues to deal with. Hope that helps. -R -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tasita Ebacher Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 3:05 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Stuck Profile Do you use UPHClean? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1b286e6d-8912-4e18- b570-42470e2f3582&displaylang=en Tasita Ebacher 702 Communications Data Systems Engineer CCNA -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Turman, David C.

Then I used delprof and it said it deleted it but the NTUSER.DAT is still in documents and settings and cannot be deleted since it is in use. Is this a reboot situation? ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor triCerat: Have you had your fill of printing support calls, unauthorized apps running on unsecured Terminal Servers, profile headaches, and application performance problems?
