So, back in the good old days you could just delete a profile for it to go away right? Well not anymore! Now you get a stupid message about how some profile couldn't be loaded or whatever if you delete and then try and log in to the machine again. And you're like, "shut up Server 2008."
Now, in addition to deleting the profile, you also have to remove the relevant registry key. Otherwise the user will be endlessly harassed and will hate you and everything you stand for.
Thanks to my lovely coworker for finding this:

On a different irritating 2008 feature note, screen lockouts are now the default setting. Regardless of your Group Policy settings. So before where you had to actually tell Group Policy that you didn't want your user leaving their system logged in all the time, now you have to tell 2008 that you don't.
Gahhhhh! It's a feature.
