Question

Windows Server 2008 Your User Profile was not Loaded Correctly

Asked by: rbjk22

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008. We have a domain login account that we have always used for many years here. After installing SBS 2008 and login into the server (which is virtual running on Xenserver) I always get the message "Your User Profile was not Loaded Correctly" and it loads a Temp profile which gets dumped as soon as you log off. I then installed a windows 2008 server standard to be our new BB server and when I log into this server it to gives the same profile error. I created a new domain login account and that has no problem logging in but I need to use our other login as it is the blackberry service account and backup exec service account. Could this be do to a group policy or folder redirection? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Check the AD Account does not have a roaming profile or terminal services profile that is causing the issue..

Login as that the user and post GPRESULT

I had the same problem on Win2003 SBS until I increased disk space on the c: partition. I was out of disk space.

 

by: rbjk22Posted on 2009-08-28 at 17:40:38ID: 25212556

Wolfhere: Thanks for the comment but these are new servers so disk space isn't an issue.

1stITMAN: I have checked and there isn't any roaming profiles. Here are the event logs that come up when logging in.

Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.

Can anyone else confirm that if you try to login to a windows server 2008 box with a username that has the % sign in it that it loads a temp profile? I create two new accounts, both domain admin accounts and logged in. The one without the % sign in the username logged in fine and had a profile created, the other with the % in the username I got "Your User Profile was not Loaded Correctly".

 

by: 1stITMANPosted on 2009-08-29 at 06:41:31ID: 25214021

I Believe % is a system varaiable and cannot be used in a username. Change it $ instead.

 

by: rbjk22Posted on 2009-08-29 at 09:40:37ID: 25214518

Is that something new in 2008? We haven't had a problem with it in 2000 or 2003.

 

by: jayasankerPosted on 2009-09-02 at 16:58:12ID: 25246826

i have notice this at the time of our sbs 2008 implementation, also i hv not faced this specific problem before

 

by: rbjk22Posted on 2009-09-02 at 17:23:59ID: 25246951

Why 2008 looks at a % different then 2003 and 2000 is beyond me but I had to create a new BES service account and scrap the other username. Thanks to all that posted.

I had the same issue with a user logging in for the first time to my new Windows 2008 Terminal Server.  It creating a temp user profile for the user.  I found that in the user's profile a "Terminal Serivce User Profile" is avaiable.  I had a path to an older server at this located in the "Profile Path".  I removed the entery, and was able to log the user on with a "Local" profile.
