asked on

Multiple desktop profiles created through group policy and roaming profiles.

Hello,

I created a group policy in an OU called XenApp servers. I moved all the servers in this OU. the group policy I created is to only apply to this OU. When a user logs in it creates multiple profiles under documents and settings such as

test
test.domain
test.domain.001
test.domain.002

Why does it do this?

thanks

several causes:
1)
There is a group policy setting to delete cached copies of roaming profiles at log off,  check this setting
@ Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles

2)
If the location of the roaming profile is not reachable at logoff it will remain
3)
there is a service patch to fix this as well User hive profile cleanup.

Hi,

I have checked all three cases

1) I have
                   Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles set to enable.  Should I disable it?
2) The location of the roaming profile is being duplicated and also on the server itself
ex: citrix servers test1,test2,test3 and romaing profile goes to fs1 server. It creates a duplicate profile in both locations.
3) I have user profile cleanup installed on all4 servers.
