Cannot create local user profiles

I have a windows 2000 server on which I can create a new local user
but the system does not create a local profile as a result when I try
to logon as the newly created user it says " Windows cannot create
temporary profile" and does allow the new user to be logon. In
addition the profile for four other users that were already defined on
the system have lost their profiles and their logon is denied.
I cannot possibly rebuild this system since it is a production system
and it has tons of data on it with about 7 applications running on it
servicing a vital need of the business.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thank you
Arun

If article ID: 289158 does not resolve your issue, then use the following

Microsoft PSS and have a Support Engineer in the Platforms Directory
Services group analyze the log for you.
