I am running a terminal server and have a gpo in place. I have it set to
delete cached roaming profiles. I have it set to keep only the windows
install information for each user and this is stored on another drive. The
problem is deleting the cached profiles was working and now it is not and I
cannot figure out why.
Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it.

Thanks

Do you have UPHClean installed? If not, it may be that handles are not
being closed properly on your profiles thereby preventing them from
being deleted.

I do not have UPhClean installed. Forgive my ingnorance but I have not heard
of it. I should have added to my first message that this is the first time I
have worked with terminal server. I have set it up from scratch so this is a
learning experience.
Now that I think about it I did read in another post about user profile hive
cleanup, is this what you are talking about? I was going to try installing it
as soon as I read up on it.

Thanks

Microsoft directly.

Jeff,
I just wanted to say thanks for the help. I downloaded and installed the
service and it is working great.
