Joe,
Check your permissions on those files "in use" .  When I've seen this in the 
past, it was due to the account I was logged in with didn't have full control 
of the file(s) in question.  In that case, I would take ownership of said 
files, modify permissions as needed, then kill it.  IME, those files were never 
in use via some process.

My $.02,

Shook

(BTW, its good to be back...had to take three months off due to a killer 1st 
quarter)

Subject: Account Unknown profiles

Server 2k3

I've got a couple profiles on my server that are listed as Account Unknown.  
The delete button is greyed out for them.  I'd like to delete them, but can't 
figure out how.  When I look under C:\Documents and Settings, I see two folders 
there for personnel that have not been with the organization for a couple of 
years now.  I'm assuming that these profile folders are the ones showing up as 
Account Unknown, since they are not listed otherwise under the Profile list.  I 
tried to manually delete the folders themselves, but get an error saying the 
NTUSER.DAT is being used by another user or program.

Any ideas on how I can get rid of these?

Thanks,

Joe Heaton
