Post subject: Microsoft Windows Terminal Server User Accounts
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>terminal_services (more info?)

We are running a windows 2003 server as a Terminal Server controlling remote
desktop connection from remote sites.

Users use the remote Desktop function to login to this server. Then they can
run applications remotely eg Word , as a sort of thin client.

We have a problem with one user account that fails to complete the logon
process. IE launches 2 times and eventually the process fails.

How can we remove this failing user account from this Terminal Server ? We
do not know the process.
What we want to do is delete the failing user's profile and log in again to
recreate one.
Can we do this ? How do we proceed?

Thanks

Depends on the type of profiles that you have defined for the
users.
You will find the local profile of the user in C:\Documents and
Settings\<username> on the TS.
If you are using roaming profiles, then the profile is also stored
somewhere on a file server on your network.

Have you checked the EventLog on the TS for any error messages or
warnings when this user tries to connect?

Vera, Many Thanks for your help. Could you please answer the question about
removing user account/profile.

Is there a process in windows or a tool?

There is nothing really odd in the Event Viewer.
