If a roaming profile cannot be deleted at logoff for some reason
(usually the folders application data and local settings remain)
the next time the same user logs on, windows cannot use the
previous profile-name, so it creates a new folder called
stan.domainname.001 etc. I've seen it happening over here too.
Dunno why this happens. Only thing I've seen is that if I reboot
the computer in question and remove the faulty folders it stays
that way for a while, then it starts all over again with
stan.domainname.001... I've had as many as 47 folders of that sort
on a user computer... Not sure, but *may* have something to do with
cached domain logons gone wrong or something.
If anybody knows anything about the reason why this happens, pls
let me know!
