What is the best way to fix a corrupt windows profile?
 
We use a Win Server 2003 as our Terminal sever.  Users use outlook,
outlook express, IE, firefox, and quickbooks pro.

Sometime a profile gets corrupt and I go though the following steps to
create a clean profile.

1 ? Log the user off
2 ? Reaname the user?s profile (in the Documents and Settings folder)
to something like john-old or john-corrupt
3 ? Go into the user?s and groups and delete the user
4 ? Recreate the user
5 ? Login as the user and let it create a new profile folder (in the
Documents and Settings folder)
6 ? Recreate the user?s outlook 2003 profile.
7 ? Log is as the Admin and manually copy over his IE favorites, items
left on his desktop and my documents folders,  his .nk2 file (outlook
autofill list) and his custom Word dictionary on the folder located at
?C:\Documents and Settings\ john-corrupt\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof? from the corrupted profile folder
(john-corrupt).

Here have 1 primary question, and 2 optional questions.

PRIMARY QUESTION:
1- Is there a low cost util that can copy this stuff over in a more
automatic way, so I don?t have to do it manually.

OPTIONAL QUESTION:
2 ? Am I doing this right?
3 ? Are there other files that I can bring over that would retains
more of the user?s environment?  I mean things like his desktop
preferences, IT toolbars and options, outlook profile, options for
various program, word custom toolbars, etc.

thanx in advnce

1. Decide what folders you need to copy and create yourself a good ole
DOS batch file.

2. Your are doing this right, what most IT Managers do is lock the
desktop to a corporate standard (stops viruses), and you could point
my documents to a separate personal folders server and run backups on
it as you wouls a standard server.

3. Your to nice if it ain't on the network I wouldn't save it.
