Situation
Managed devices are member of an Active Directory domain
Devices receive an Active Directory delivered group policy with the setting: Set roaming profile path for all users logging onto this computer
Applying a Patch Bundle or a Windows Bundles, having one or more actions configured to run as Dynamic Administrative User (DAU), can leave behind temporary user profile folders under C:\Users, where the folder name generally contains the workstation host name.

Resolution
Workaround:
Run a cleanup job which removes left over temporary user profiles.
Run a cleanup job which removes left over temporary user profiles.
Cause
With above group policy settings, Windows tries to enforce a
roaming profile while the local DAU created user account does not
have access to the network. Windows enforces the creation of a
local temporary user profile. This temporary user profile path does
not always get removed and can still contain data depending on the
(patch) bundle actions which got carried out.
Please note that patches get deployed using the DAU user capability in ZPM 11.3.
