Low Amount of Free Hard Disk Space May Damage a Roaming User Profile (246990)

CAUSE

This issue can occur if the computer you are using has a very low amount of free hard disk space (approximately equal to or less than the roaming profile size) on the boot partition of your hard disk. When you log on to a client computer, your roaming profile is copied to the local client computer as a locally cached profile. However, if the computer you are using has a very low amount of free hard disk space, the locally cached profile can become damaged. Also, when you log off from this client computer, your locally cached profile is copied to the your roaming profile, and this may cause your permanent roaming profile to become damaged.
