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.

How do I unload a stuck profile? I deleted in User Profiles but it
said Directory not Empty.
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?
