Hi All,
I have a client machine (XP SP3) which used to be connected to a windows 2003 domain, but the server has since gone down due to a hard drive failure, however the profiles still remain in 'documents and settings'. I have a local admin account on the same machine (in the administrator's group), except when i try to remove the profiles manually from System Properties -> Advanced -> User Profiles -> Settings, the delete button is disabled.
Also, Windows prevents me from deleting or renaming the user's profile folder as well, due to a lock with ntuser.dat
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers!
