i have a user who's profile has increase by 1/2 mb since monday! how she did this i have no idea. but that's not my big concern. her profile has corrupted 2-3 times in the last 2 months. what in the heck is she up to in order to do this?!
 
In order to provide a better response we need a little more information.

Is this a roaming profile or local?

Secondly, what is the errors that you are getting? Permissions, etc...
 
roaming profiles. we use citrix here, and users are not able to install anything on their profiles or the server.
 
iexplore cache or similar stuff? I know that for a while FF installed its cache into a folder that roamed with me, expanding my profile by ~200MiB
 
Ive found that Quicktime has been piling up cached downloads into the following folder on our roaming profiles. (even web page watched videos sometimes get put into here)

\RoamingProfileFolder\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\downloads
 
you have UPH(User profile Hive) Clean installed on the citrix servers?

well, users cannot install programs and we only use IE. :rolleyes: users do not have programs installed to their profiles either, only a start menu on the server created by us admins.

email is a completely seperate beast and not attached to the windows profile. email has its own pst on a seperate server.

i dont know. how do i check this out?

i'll try and keep you guys posted throughout the day, but i have a feeling shiat is going to hit the fan with lots of other things.

edit: nope, been pretty quiet today, which is good
 
So a user's profile increased by 500k and shit is going to hit the fan?
 
well, today has been pretty quiet, thank God. but i still want to know why a user's profile has expanded when she cannot install anything into her profile.
 
Dont know if it will help, but have you tried manually searching her profile and checking folder size to narrow down the culprit?

There would be aservice called UPH Clean on the system. If your not using i'd look into it. Its a microsoft util that helps clean up users profiles when they unload. Its a must have on our large citrix farm.

i can't seem to find anything in there that would result in such a big increase. temporary internet files and cookies do not come out to be that large. i just find it extremely strange her profile would get this large.

we do not use UPH Clean. we only have about 100 users here, so it's not a huge deal.

Ddidn't you say you were having problems with user profile becomming corupt?
 
maybe she has 500 bookmarks? or 500 links in Quicklaunch?

Looking at my "Application settings" Ms Project 07 has created a 500Kb file as a template. I know you have searched before, but couldn't find a set of files created that day...
