Why does my Administrator profile procreate
Posted by Jordan Fee on March 4th, 2004


My Administrator profile has replicated itself twice, once as
Administrator.Server and again as ADMINI~1~SER. I'm not certain what created
these additional profiles or how to get rid of them.

At one time or another they all seem to have had Temporary Internet crap in
them, even though I've never logged on as these other users. I've moved my
Temp Store off the root drive, so I'd like to clean up the remaining mess.

Any ideas?

You will see profile directories the way you're seeing under certain
circumstances. If the machine name has changed or it's domain membership
has changed and then you login as administrator, that will create a new user
profile. It appends the machine name or domain name to make the directory
unique since there is already a profile named administrator.
