Hi Tim,
Thanks for posting here!
These error logs indicate that the user profiles in your Server is either
corrupted, or are not properly configured.
Suggestion 1:
==================
This can happen if some users'' ProfileImagePath registries are duplicated
with other users'' ProfileImagePath. To resolve the issue, perform the
following steps:
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
1. Run "WHOAMI /USER /SID" to determine the user''s correct SID.
If you don''t have the whoami command tool, you can download and install it
from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/whoami-o
asp
Note: By default, it will install to C:\Program files\Resource Kit folder.
To run it, go to Command Prompt and change the path to C:\Program
Files\Resource Kit>. Then type "whoami /USER /SID" (without quotes) and
press Enter. It should display the current user''s name and SID.
2. Check the ProfileImagePath value under the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<SID>
Note down this ProfileImagePath value.
3. Check the other ProfileList\<SID> keys for matching ProfileImagePath
values and deleted those keys.
Note: Please make sure you have backed up the registry key before you
delete them.
4. Try to test, how about the result?
Did you manually move your users'' profiles to another drive? If you have
moved the Documents and Settings folder, it will lead to the issue. Moving
the Documents and Settings folder in Windows server 2003/Windows XP to
another drive is not supported by Microsoft. Although you can try the steps
in the article below, we provide it for informational purposes only;
Microsoft makes no guarantee that this configuration functions properly for
Windows Server 20003/Windows XP.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=236621
Suggestion 2:
==================
If the issue persists, I suggest that you create a new user and then copy
the user profile. When copying, the following files should be excluded, see:
- Ntuser.dat
- Ntuser.dat.log
- Ntuser.ini

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=811151
Try to test, how about the result?
I appreciate you time and effort. I am currently standing by for you about
the test result. I am always happy to be of further assistance.
Have a nice day!
Best Regards,
Jenny Wu
