How do I recreate a profile? I have a Windows NT File SErver and two terminal servers?
 
If your users are not in the habit of saving data into their profiles, and you use roaming profiles, then it would be a simple matter of deleting the folder at \\[profileshare]\[username] - and all the cached profiles belonging to that user in %systemroot%\profiles (WTSRV) or %systemroot%\Documents And Settings on the MetaFrame servers. The roaming profile will then recreate automatically from your Default User profile.

If your users have got into the habit of saving data into their profiles, then you can simply rename the roaming portion and copy the data back later - or look up the registry keys that will point data paths out of the profiles!

Hope this helps CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
 
An alternative option to the one mentioned above is to restore the profile from a backup tape... Ofcourse you have to have backupped the profiles...
