This happens frequently for my laptop users who work at
client sites. Client IT has a habit of knocking the
user's systems out of our domain so they can be added to
their domain. Once a profile is disassociated with the
domain and security info it's rendered as "Account
Unknown". I've usually just looked at the doc/settings
folder and matched up what was present in User Profiles
to eliminate the undesirables. The date stamp and
profile size in User profiles also helps in determining
when the profile was last used and how much data was
loaded into it. All that doesn't necessarily help you
answer your question though, I suppose.
