There is a right way and a wrong way to get rid of profiles on the new windows platform. The wrong way is to go to C:\Users\ and delete the folder.... What will happen if you do? When you try to login as the person whom owned that folder, a temp folder will be created... something like TEMPUSER.000 or something similar... The server will still let you login and work, but, it will force you to setup outlook, and any other tools that are usually setup on first logon. After you log off, and back in again, it will do the same thing over again... no permanent folder to work from... So, how do you fix this major mess up on your part?... Open the Registry: Go Here: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Scroll through the SID List on the Left side... watch the right side where it shows the user name. When you find the SID for the user you deleted, just delete the SID on the left side. Restart. When that user goes to login again, the server will look at the list in registry, not find the associated SID and assume its a new user and go through the entire process including making a new user files folder. |
