[THIN] Users can't logoff, admins can; winlogon.exe taking all cpu time

Environment:

Windows 2000 SP4 domain controller with roaming user profiles

Windows 2000 SP4 / Citrix MF XP 1.0 SP3 FR3

 

And this issue:

"Normal" users can not log off, once the user is a member of the Domain
Admins, the user logs off normally. After logging off the session hangs
at the "Closing network connections" message. If I disconnect the
network connections manually, it hangs without this message (so just W2K
blue). The Winlogon process takes the complete CPU time even after
logging off the user through CMC or Terminal Server Manager.  After
logging of the user through CMC, the user profile is still on the
Terminal Server and "in use" as it can not be deleted till the server
has rebooted. 

 

I tried

- the policy "Do not check for ownership of roaming profiles" (or
something similar) 

- changing permissions at the "Documents and Settings" folder

- installing all updates at Windows update

 

Can anyone help out?
