We are currently using samba and openLDAP to enable our users to

various users are unable to load their profile and windows just
gives them a temporary profile. This mostly happens on vista
machines but is not limited to that as it has happened on XP also.
What is odd is the user can login as themselves on another machine
just fine and other users can "usually" log in on the first users
pc just fine. We have tried the standard checking log files,
remove/reinstall pc into domain/ldap, remove/reinstall user into
domain/ldap, etc but nothing seems to work. What we usually end up
doing is reinstalling the users OS and programs. I know there has
to be a better way to do this. Is there anything I may be missing
here? Any pointers are more than welcome.

I have found that deleting the registry entry for the user will allow
them to download the profile from the server. Try deleting the
local profile and this entry in the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<SID of
User>
Should you look at this entry, you will see that the CentralProfile is
set to a temporary profile. You may just need to edit the
Centralprofile and perhaps delete the local profile rather than
deleting the entire key.
If you delete the entire SID entry, it will be recreated when the user
logs-in the next time.
Thanks for that. It appears as though deleting the users registry entry
has fixed at least one instance of this issue. I will continue testing.
