Periodically on startup XP and/or 2000 workstations have corrupt profiles. The profile can be rebuilt, but what causes this problem?

At a rough guess it sounds like the way that the Domain has been setup and the way that the Permissions have been implemented.

Of course this is taking it at face value that the operators are not just removing the power when they turn off at the end of the day, if they are not shutting down properly that could also cause the problems you are experiencing.
