Hello Michael,
Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Lanwench for the good sharing.
According to your description, I understand that you get multiple prf*.tmp
files on one user's desktop when you enable roaming profile for it. If I
have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Based on my research, this problem may occur if the Indexing service or
some other process (such as an open file agent) has opened the indicated
temporary file during profile synchronization. If so, the temporary file is
not deleted. It is uploaded with the roaming profile when you log off and
reconciled to the local profile when you log on again.
Although antivirus software may also cause this problem, the impact is
likely to be minimal because there are fewer file operations for such
processes than for Indexing and open file agents.
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:
Turn off the software or the service that is in conflict with the profile
engine.
-or-
Exclude profile folders from the conflicting operational scan or monitor
functionality.
For more information, please refer to the following KB:

I hope these steps will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Best regards,

| One of my clients has a small office with about 5 Workstations/Laptops
and a
| dell Sertver with Windows SBS 2003. All of the users have roaming
profiles
| since they all use all of the Workstations laptops in the office. One of
the
| users is having issues with these large prf.tmp files beingcreated on his
| desktop when he logs on and off. I have already tried recreating his
| profile, that did not work. I have also removerd google desktop which I
read
| could cause the issue, that also did not work. I have removed the
profile
| folder from the Veritas backup job on the Server, this did not help
either.
| I have removed the profile folder on the Server and workstation from
being
| scanned by the Anti-Virus software (Symantec Coporate). The jury is
still
| out on whether this will resolve the issue or not. Has anyone else seen
this
| before and does anyone know how to resolve the issue? I have been unable
to
| find any additional info on this particular issue, any help with this
would
| be greatly appreciated!
|
| Thanks!
