Brand new user profile sees "user profile service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded" over RDP


windows server 2008.

server plagued user account stuck @ "please wait system event notification service" during rdp logout , have not quick access hard reboot machine , haven't found way restart these user profiles. (best guess related bug http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2383928#appliesto).

administrator "restart pc" not seem work either, hangs @ same screen or cannot restart because of other profiles stuck in oblivion.

i've tried creating new administrator profiles, reason brand new profiles seeing "user profile service service failed logon. user profile cannot loaded" on rdp" @ logon.  know worked in past.

what can solve either 1 (or both) of these problems on last remaining working remote desktop user login.  have no easy physical access server.

 

 


hi,
 


generally, when user login, check profile in following sequence:
 
1. windows check "hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\profilelist\<sid>" see whether there existing profile of user.
a. if registry key exists, check profileimagepath under registry current existing profile.
b. if profile not exist or accessible, windows log user on temp profile.
c. if profile accessible, sync roaming profile local profile.
d. after that, load profile.
 
2. otherwise, if "hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\profilelist\<sid>" not exist, means no existing profile user. in situation, behave in way:
a. create local profile based on local default profile.
b. if there roaming profile configured , roaming profile exists, sync roaming profile local profile. after that, load profile.
c. if roaming profile configured no existing roaming profile, local profile directly.
d. upon user logoff, sync local profile central location of roaming profile.
 
if using roaming profile, issue may occur if network path not accessible or if user not have enough permission.
 
create central roaming profile, need set following permission. example, roaming
\\server\apps\format\dev\users
a). share permission of share folder "apps", "authenticated user" , "domain users" must granted full control permission
b). ntfs permission of exact parent folder of roaming profile (here, it's users"), "authenticated user" , "domain users" must granted full cotnrol permission
c). other folder of path, example "format" folder here, "authenticated user" , "domain users" must have general read ntfs permission.
 
notice: please make sure server service started on server stores roaming profile.
 
 
meanwhile, find microsoft technet articles describe events above:

 
the user profile service (profsvc) crashes in windows server 2008 or windows vista sp1 systems when service loads or unloads user profiles contain compressed files or folders

a temporary profile loaded after log on windows vista-based system

thanks.
