Alex-
Typically the new profiles are created when
you have a user with the same username but different SID logging into a
machine. This can happen if you truly have two different user accounts with
the same user name logging into the machine, or because the user account was
recreated at some point (hence getting a new SID). The error you're seeing is
very common on Windows--some handles get held up as the profile is unloaded,
causing it to not actually be completely unloaded. Its not clear whether this is
related to your problem.
Don't know if that helps.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Corrupt profiles after w2k3 upgrade?
Hello
all,
we've had a few
calls this week (more this week than last) about folks' profiles being corrupt,
i.e: they are having a new profile created when they log on. User bob now
has bob.domain or in some instances even bob.domain.00, etc. I've looked
at a few machines and notice no noticeable change, the user still has Full
Control access on the old profile folder, so it doesn't appear to be a
permissions issue. The only change is that we upgraded our first domain
controller to WIndows 2003, however the schema has been extended for about 3
weeks now.
This is the only
questionable event I've found on the machines that have experienced this
issue.
Event ID:
1000
Source:
USERENV
Data: Windows cannot
unload your registry file. If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not
replicated. Contact your administrator.
Anyone have any clue
as to what may be causing these "new profiles" to be created all of a
sudden?
FYI: these are
mainly Windows 2000 Laptops running SP3 or SP4.
-Alex.
