Can I delete ""Account Unknown" profiles?

On one of our Citrix servers (running under W2K AS w/TS), when I list User
Profiles (under System Properties), it takes a couple of minutes to show the
list. I see 21 profiles listed as "Account Unknown". I'm leery to just go
ahead and delete them. However, they are taking up considerable space
(almost 40MB each) and if I don't need them, I'd like to free up 800+ MB of
space (as well as reduce the backup time to tape).

Any ideas or thoughts??
 
May be a Citrix question. Since you've got them backed up already can't
you delete them and restore them later if neccessary? I dug through
internal docs a bit and didn't see anything about this that would help.

I'll post on the alt.os.citrix site. Not sure, though, that it is....I can
delete them, but most times if I do that, I end up disabling something that
a senior executive needs and "That ain't good".....
 
I did some more looking. Actually the AD folks might have a better handle
on this as it seems it can occur on non-Citrix systems and is probably
related to issues with the trust configurations between domains. Sorry to
run you around the communities but put this in
microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory.

Thanks for taking the time to research this... I'll be interested in what
they say. We only have one domain. CYA
 
Sorry, I meant for you to repost this in the AD group so one of the techs
monitoring there could help you resolve this. I dnon't have the expertise
in this area they do. Most fols monitoring advanced_server won't either.
