Can someone please help.

When users logon to our 2000 domain the roaming profiles
are cached to documents and settings. Sometimes when the
users log off the cached profiles is still there or
somtimes it is deleted. The process as I understand it is
the profile is supposed to be copied to documents and
settings when the user logs on and copied back to their
roaming profile when they log off.

My question is why somtimes the profiles is left in
documents and settings..
 
There is a setting that can be applied through group
policy. Make sure this is set.

Group policy - Computer configuration - Administrative
templates - system - logon - "Delete cached copies of
roaming profiles".

This is computer-specific though, so if a user logs on to
a PC in the OU the policy is applied for, the cached copy
will be removed. If a user logs on to a computer in a
different OU the cached profile will remain.

Alternatively, add the following to your client PC's:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Edit or add value DeleteRoamingCache as type REG_DWORD.
Set it to 1.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
Jeroen
