account profile deletion problems...

Recommended Posts

Morning guys.

 

I have created roaming accounts on my DC (Win2K Adv. Svr.) and have a shared folder off the server for their roaming profiles. I've used roaming profiles for a long time now since WinNT 4 without incident. I now have an account which was supposed to be deleted, which I did delete, but now I can't delete the actual folder for the roaming profile. I get some error telling me that "the folder may be in use" what's even more strange is that the folder has an extension of "*.pds". I've tried turning off filesharing and and IIS Admin services but no luck. I cannot delete this folder. Anybody else run into this problem?

 

Thanx in advance.

Well to say the least I was finally able to delete the folder with the help of manually taking back authority manually on every folder within the roaming profile folder (major pain in the toosh). When I tried taking back authority at the top main level folder for the profile and passing it on to all the child object subfolders, files and directories, it did not work. So I had to manually go into each subfolder and perform authority on each individual folder.

 

Thanks for trying to help guys anyways. (No sarcasm intended)
