ROAMING PROFILES

[dumenduser]

Im having a real problem with my roaming profiles on my server. For some reason every once and a while my users will lose their roaming profiles. Then when I look on the local profile on the workstation, there will be something like this username.00*. It makes this tmp profile everytime it fails to download the prof. I'm thinking it might have something to do with slow network connections, or perhaps they have too much crap on their profiles. Any help would be much appreciated

Make sure in the profiles path on the server you have ntuser.dat (if nt) or user.dat (if win9x)

That's affirmative on having ntuser.dat and user.dat for the few 95 machines I have

Is it possible that multiple users are logging on (leaving profile 1 active) and logging on again(creating profile 2) without logging off?

Do you mean multiple users loggin on at different workstations... nope I still think it has something to do with the network connections. I'm using fiber-> to CAT5 and I've noticed I'm taking a lot of collisions. The Roaming profiles aren't updating correctly me thinks.

I've seen it before. One network I manage is running fiber on a 10 base hub (I didn't set it up). The fiber link users do have roaming profiles but don't have that problem.
On another network I took over, multiple users logging on, no NTUSER.DAT in profile path, several USERNAME.00x in profiles.
I fixed that by implementing it the correct way and haven't seen it again.
