Re: Can't create new profile

Weird. Are those computers at SP2? Are there any entries in the logs as seen
via Event Viewer that occur at startup/logon on those computers that may
help indicating any type of problem? If the user is added to the local
administrators group on one of those domain computers does the problem go
away? Does the problem happen if a domain administrator tries to logon to
one of those computers which is not best practice but just for test
purposes? Are roaming profiles being used? If you logon as a local
administrator and run the support tool netdiag on one of the computers are
any errors/warnings found?

--- download support tools here assuming SP2 is being used. Otherwise use
the install disk from the support/tools folder.

Added several PCs to our Windows 2000 network, all running Win2k Pro.
Once I
join each one to the network and change the local Admin password, I reboot
and logon with the username and password of the existing user whose old
machine this one is replacing. In other words, I'm using existing domain
users names and passwords to make the connection.

This has never been a problem before. Now I get messages that Windows
can't
copy some of the Default User Template files, because the files are in use
by
another process. I'm kicked back out to Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Windows KB says make sure Everyone has Read rights for WINNT. Been there,
done that, still no joy?

Any thoughts?
