Hello

Thanks for the info - we have the same issue. We're also running the
UPHClean service to unload profiles but it doesn't seem to make any
difference.

There _is_ a way to remove "locked" user profiles without rebooting the
server, though.

1) Start Regedit
2) Go to HKEY_USERS
3) If you know the user's SID, just select the user's hive and select
File, Unload Hive. Do the same for the user's hive that ends in
"_classes".
4) If you don't know the user's SID, do a Find on the user's userid.
You will find the userid under HKU\<user's SID>
\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer in the value for
"LogonUserName". In this way you can determine the user's SID. Now
perform step 3.
5) You should now be able to delete the user's profile.

thanks

jim
