SYMPTOMS
On Windows NT Server, Terminal Server Edition, when you enable the Delete Cached Profile (DeleteRoamingCache) feature and a user logs off from the Terminal Server, the profile is copied back to the central profile location and the cached copy on the terminal server box is deleted.
In the process of deleting this cached copy, Terminal Server recursively removes all the folders under the user's profile folder. But, the top level folder of the user profile might not be removed.
This seems as if the Delete Cached Profile setting did not work, but the empty folder does not cause any profile corruption.
Userenv log indicates error 32, a sharing violation occurred.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if the current directory for the Winlogon process running under the user's context gets set to the user's profile folder incorrectly.
