Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server Temp Profile

Hello Experts,

I have a couple of users receiving a notice that they are logged on with a temporary profile. These users are logging into a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server with Roaming Profiles and Redirected Folders. Here is the event log:

Log Name:      Application
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service
Date:          7/18/2011 8:35:41 AM
Event ID:      1511
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:      
User:          Domain\User
Computer:      TS.Domain.local
Description:
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.

No matter what I do, these two users always receives this message. Can anyone point me in the direction to prevent this from happening? It is only two out of like 100 people that is getting this.

Your profiles are probably not being logged off properly and are being corrupted or still in use.  I installed UPHClean on my Citrix servers and it fixed all issues with non-logged off sessions as well as temporary profiles.

You can get the MSI here:

My guess would be this one:
Error message: "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded”, when logging on to Windows 7 or Windows Vista

Or these users are members of the (Domain) Guests group:
A temporary user profile is created every time that you log on to a Windows Vista-based computer that is connected to a domain

josika,
the UPHClean service is included in the OS since Vista/W2k8. It does (and should) NOT need to be installed on anything newer than Server 2003.

Does this run on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit? The post says it's for 32-bit.
These are domain users logging into the Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Servers using Remote Desktop Client.

Tony, if this registry key was altered (at least I haven't modified any, maybe the other admins have) but wouldn't it affect all users and not just the two users that this is causing trouble with? Just to clarify before I delete all the keys, will Windows 2008 R2 recreate them?
My experience is that it starts with a few users but eventually spreads.

And I agree about no one changing it - I think it's programmatical.
