Process Explorer tells me it is the System process which has a handle to one particular user's ntuser.man file still open. I just know if I use the "close handle" function the server will die, so I was wondering if there was any other way of freeing it up. Looks like I am stuck to a restart, but thanks for the suggestions.does anyone know any ways of avoiding such problems in future (besides telling people not to edit the default mandatory profile on the fly)

If you think it's coming from a remote session and you have physical access to the server, you could try stopping or restarting the server service. If it still doesn't unlock, it's something local from the server. -Bonnie From: Rankin, James R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 6:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Desperation... Given that a bash too, no luck. I'd love to know how it keeps getting locked, although my boss's propensity for editing the default mandatory profile during working hours may have something to do with it. Looks like a server reboot is on the cards :-( _____ From: Miller Bonnie L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 April 2008 14:43 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Desperation... I would try Mike's suggestion, as well as maybe restarting the UPHclean service, as it might be what is stuck.

Have you tried to unload the hive from the HKEY_CURRENT_USER portion of the registry for that profile?

Anyone know of a way to unload or free a "stuck" mandatory profile other than UPHClean? I have tried the latest and also the beta versions of this tool and can't seem to free the profile. Handle.exe tells me that it is the System process with this open so I guess forcing it closed will probably blue-screen my Citrix server. Are there any other ways I can get around this without a server restart? I am not hopeful.
