Vista Profile damaged with Windows 2003 delprof.exe

I discovered today that the Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tool "DelProf.exe"
will fail to properly delete Vista user profiles and will display message
"Failed - Access is denied".

The tool will however delete the users profile found at C:\Users, but it
fails to delete the corresponding registry key at
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-21


This results in the following message when the Vista user attempts to log
on: "Your user profile was not loaded correctly. You have been logged on
with a temporary profile". And this of course results in the user loosing
access to their Documents and Desktop.

I found this out the hard way when an automated script ran to clean up all
the XP and Vista workstation profiles this weekend and I'm still cleaning up
the registry mess on all the Vista machines.

Anyone at Microsoft going to come out with an emergency patch to DelProf.exe
so as to save the next hapless Administrator?

Thanks!
