Problem with profiles

[TexExpat]

I assume this is more of a Terminal Server rather than Citrix problem. I have three Cirtix servers. Most of my users use one of 3 mandatory profiles that are centrally located. Mandatory profiles had been working properly, but I now seeing an odd problem.

On one server, the profiles are still operating normally, that is, the profile is copied into the user's folder under Documents and Settings, and the root of this folder contains the files NTUSER.MAN and NTUSER.MAN.LOG. On the other two servers, however, the profile is copied into the user's folder, and the files NTUSER.DAT and NTUSER.DAT.LOG are added. The NTUSER.MAN and NTUSER.MAN.LOG files are also present. In addition, the NTUSER.DAT file is dated 1/1/1980. However, the user seems to have a normal operating environment. This behavior seems server-specific rather than user-specific or profile-specific.

The server on which the mandatory profiles are centrally stored was moved to new hardware two nights ago, but it has the same server name, IP address, and sharepoint name.

Anyone have an idea why I am seeing this behavior? While I can't find any specific detrimental effect it is having, I'm concerned that there may be something there that I haven't seen yet.

Thank you very much for your help.

What Windows service pack levels are your Citrix and file servers? SP4 by any chance?

Thanks for your reply.

The three Citrix servers are MetaFrame XP, FR3 running on Windows 2000, SP3. (I have been cautioned against using SP4 on a MetaFrame server.)

The server hosting the mandatory profiles is Windows 2000, SP4.
