I have enabled roaming profiles and folder redirection
for Desktop and My Documents for a particular OU. The
roaming profile cache is deleted at logoff.

I thought everything was working fine, until we tried
tried to delete any object (file/folder) in either of the
redirected folders. You can delete an object, but when
you logoff and logon, the object comes back.

Creating an object works as expected - the object is
created in the redirected location. The user logs off.
The user logs on, and all of the contents of the
redirected folders are copied to the local profile
cache. The user then deletes the object, which deletes
it in the redirected location. The object still exists
in the local profile cache. On logoff, the local profile
is merged with the roaming profile, copying the local
objects to the server. On next logon, the user receives
the objects that they believed they had deleted.

The version of fpdeploy.dll is 5.1.2600.1106 with a
timestamp of 8/29/2002 7:00am.

MS KB 827079 doesn't directly address my issue, but does
indicate there is a newer version of fpdeploy.dll.

Can someone please help?

Thanks,
