machine debug manager service locking registry key preventing profile sync

[DC Gringo]

I recently added a machine with Visual Studio.NET 2003 on a Win2k sp4 SERVER
machine and am having problems with roaming profiles. Apparently the
Machine Debug Manager (mdm.exe) service is holding on to a registry key
during shutdown and restart and prevents the roaming profile from
synchronizing.

I temporarily fixed it with a logoff script that stops this service on
logoff, but I'd like to see if there's a better way to fix it.

The event log shows:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: 10/14/2003
Time: 6:11:35 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: THECOMPUTERNAME
Description:
Windows cannot unload your registry file. If you have a roaming profile,
your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator.

DETAIL - Access is denied. , Build number ((2195)).

Richard,

Have you had any luck with this? I'm pretty certain this is the problem
because when I shut down the service manually, it enabled the roaming
profile to sync. I had previously tried no less than about 15 other cause
to this error and to no avail. A list of solutions was posted somewhere on
the newsgroups.
