Hi there,

I have a user whose profile is so corrupted that I wanted to delete it and start from scratch. I removed the profile from local pc and also the domain controller profile area but still some of the users profile details are being downloaded from somewhere, a colleague has suggested there might be some profile details help on the backup domain controller, is this correct? And if so where can I find profile info on a BDC?

Any help greatfully recieved.

then its gone. Even if you create a brand new one with the same name. The new profilee is a new object in Active Directory so a users old profile should NOT effect a users new profile.

Changes are replicated between DCs and it's possible a peer DC didn't get the change yet, but then if you deleted the profile in AD users and computers, created a completely new user account [even if it's using the same user name] it's a new object therefore should not use anything from the users old profile.

The caveates are if you did this :

if so, then that's where your getting user preferences in the new profile.

Thanks for that, perhaps I was being impatient and wasn't waiting for the replication between DC's to finish, am going to remove the profile once more and leave it over night and then see what happens, thanks for your help
