Thanks all for your replies. My concern isn't so much
with the Event 1000s, or with the folks that this has already happened to as
much as it is preventing this, possibly by using "uphclean.exe", or
understanding why all of a sudden folks are having this happen. Anyone
have any thoughts on what may cause this to happen to multiple users, seemingly
out of the blue?
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi
Alex,
I'd like to suggest that the Microsoft tool
"uphclean.exe" might help here.

This can happen if you truly have two different user accounts with the same user name logging into the machine, or because the user account was recreated at some point (hence getting a new SID). The error you're seeing is very common on Windows--some handles get held up as the profile is unloaded, causing it to not actually be completely unloaded. Its not clear whether this is related to your problem.Don't know if that helps.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Corrupt profiles after w2k3 upgrade?Hello all,we've had a few calls this week (more this week than last) about folks' profiles being corrupt, i.e: they are having a new profile created when they log on. User bob now has bob.domain or in some instances even bob.domain.00, etc. I've looked at a few machines and notice no noticeable change, the user still has Full Control access on the old profile folder, so it doesn't appear to be a permissions issue. The only change is that we upgraded our first domain controller to WIndows 2003, however the schema has been extended for about 3 weeks now.This is the only questionable event I've found on the machines that have experienced this issue.Event ID: 1000Source: USERENVData: Windows cannot unload your registry file. If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator.Anyone have any clue as to what may be causing these "new profiles" to be created all of a sudden?FYI: these are mainly Windows 2000 Laptops running SP3 or SP4.-Alex.
