Delete copy of local profile not working
We have the GPO setup at our company which deletes a copy of local profile after 1 day. All our PC are XP Win7
What we are finding is for some reason on log off or on startup it is trying to delete a profile but cant and event viewer show errors either with event code 1533 or 1530
Description:
Windows cannot delete the profile directory C:\Users\<username>. This error may be caused by files in this directory being used by another program.
DETAIL - The directory is not empty.
This isn't happening to all users but we can see many instantance of this issue.
When it cant delete the profile it the goes to put a local copy of the profile in the users folder as username.001, .002 etc
All that is left is a couple of empty folders. (each time the folders are different) the are no security on this folder and they can be delete manually.
Now i did google this and i know this is quite a know issue with the profiles not always being delete. I know about the tools used like uphclean etc which help with this problem alot of people face but its there a permanant fix for this or is this just typical behaviour that we all must live with??
Any help or advice would we great.
Thanks
Steve
