I found out what has been causing the Windows profile problems.   Computers in the Library (and possibly Fidel, we'll have a full list tomorrow) are running low on space.   Since the latest Service Pack, it appears that old user profiles were not being deleted properly.

Here's the current plan to prevent these problems:

1. Run a script tonight to find out how many computers are nearly out of space.   Manually delete unneeded files from Documents and Settings on those computers.
2. Expand the new Windows Template to 90G next semester.
3. Implement a WPKG program for freeing space on boot.
4. Move large packages (ArcGIS data, etc.) onto network storage.
