<div>
Go to C:\documents and settings\ then choose the folder with user name with the problem.<br />
<br />
Rename the folder to add .old on the end. next time the person logs on the profile will be recreated.<br />
<br />
if you have roaming profiles setup you should also rename that profile folder also.<br />
<br />
Dont delete the folders cos the user might have documents in the profile that they will want back.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

Won't let me rename. &nbsp;Says access denied. &nbsp;I am logged into terminal server as administrator and have full rights. &nbsp;The folder was marked read-only, but I changed that. &nbsp;Still will not let me rename.
</div>


<div>
I have the same problem, removed all security access to the profile except the Domain Administrator and I still get an access is denied when I try to rename it. I have two servers in a farm and need to rename the profile on both servers.<br />
Any ideas?

Recreating a user profile in terminal server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
