Re: Duplicate users being created in Win 2K Pro

You have good, and sufficient replies already.
However, I picked up on one thing that you have said
"resharing desktop folders". Does that mean you have
folders stored on the account's desktop that are shared
over the network ??? That might be a causal agent in
the corrupting you are seeing. Normally, when a user
logs off you want the system to be able to disengage
from it without seeing anything in use.

I have a client whose Win 2K Pro box intermittently creates a duplicate
user
account at login. They will log in to the network, see a nearly blank
desktop, and freak. What I find in Documents and Settings is a ghost user
named "username.domain.000". I fixed it last week by copying all desktop
stuff over to the new identity and resharing desktop folders, but it
happened
again yesterday. Has anyone seen this before and can you point me in the
right direction? Thanks!
