I am also have an old NT 4 SP6 server running on the same network. I have experienced the problems described below with both the server connected and with it completely shut down.

SYMPTOMS: The clients roaming profiles are not updated correctly during the logon/logoff process. For instance, after logging onto the domain through a client machine the following behavior appears:

1) Place a folder on the Desktop.
2) Drag documents/pictures etc. into new folder
3) Log off
4) Log in again
5) Delete the new folder along with its content(put in trash AND empty trash)
6) Log off
7) Log in again
8) The folder which was just deleted is still on the Desktop. (Usually the folder has been completely emptied of all files ... BUT NOT Subfolders [if there were any]).

When I look at the profiles folder on the SAMBA PDC [/home/samba/profiles/<username>/Desktop] I notice that the folder which should have been deleted is still there

This PDC has been running since 10/02 and this problem has only surfaced within the last 2 months.

The following is an excerpt from one of the samba logs for a machine account.
