user-settings

Windows Server 2003. I am having a problem with the creation of new user profiles when logging in remotely to a terminal server. The new user profile gets added under Documents & Settings as username.domainname.

Deleting the new profile does not allow the original profile to be reverted to. Went logging on to the server again, it creates another new user profile.

Nothing was changed in the Active Directory or security settings.

How do I get the original profile to be used?
