The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to Delete Roaming Profile that is on the Server?

Asked by SISDTech in Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: , ,

Hi folks,

I have been searching high and low, and have not found the right answer.  The high level question is the following:

How to Delete Roaming Profile that is on the Server?

Here is the background info:
We are in a Windows 2000 environment (no GPO).  All users have roaming profile, which is required.  As with most companies, we have turnover and the old employee are deleted from AD and Exchange.  The only problem is that the roaming profile on our server is still there eating up space.

Login into the server as administrator and trying to manually delete the roaming profile for the user I get this message:
"Cannot delete <username> Access is denied.  The source file may be in use"

When i take ownership of the folder with the "Administrators" group, I can now browse the content.  But when I try to delete now, some files gets deleted and I get the following message:

"Cannot delete <File name>..  Access is designed.  The source file may be used"

This is for a user that has left the company over 2 years ago, and their corresponding AD account has already been removed.

Any suggestions on what I can do to clean up the roaming profile server?
