Temp users
This started in March 2012 on sporatic stations, but is getting more common. Users get corrupt profiles and are assigned a temp profile. This is most previlant on computers in the student Lab and within that lab, mostly on XP machines. We re-imaged the computers and if anything it is getting worse. The only GP changes have to due with printer assignments. This lab is on it's own cisco router and vLan. We have a similar problem with computers on wireless, but not as common.
I know it is a FEATURE, but this doesn't fit the "sporatic" trait. This happens several times a day on each computer.
The temp users happen with all login types, including local administrator.
We have a single domain with two ad servers (2008r2) and 2 data servers (2008 Enterprise). We have 450 computers mixed 80% xp and 20% win7.
Thanks for any help.

This is more than likely a replication problem between DCs as you've already re-imaged the workstations and nothing improved. I would look at the event logs of each DC and try to go into Site and Services and make sure they are replicating. Also, try, after cleaning up AD, and replication, unjoining and rejoining these workstations.
Hi,
I had this issue on a client with only XP machines. We were able to solve it by following these steps:
1. Log in as admin on the local computer
2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\”userprofile”\Loc
3. Rename UsrClass.dat to OLD_UsrClass.dat
4. Log out as admin, log in with the user.

Did you SYSPREP the machines ?
I have seen this happen when a non-syspreped image has been rolled out and proplems with authentication result from duplicate SIDs and machines with expired domain credentials

New info, if we have the students stagger their logins to a few at a time, it is much less likely to happen.
We did have replication errors several months ago, but none in the span of this issue.
Removing the profiles, both manually and with a vbs, fixes the issue for one login, then back to the temp profile.
We are using acronis to image, and not over the network.
thanks for the info.

Update;

Might be a symptom, on the computers that the temp user issues come up, I have to re-activate ms office on occasion.
Thanks again
Thanks again
Until you clean up that replication issue, you're not going to fix this problem.
Replication issues are fixed, no errors in 3 months.
Ok that's great? Do you still have the temp user issue?
No, still there, still very frustrating.

Thanks, we have no problem getting the data, just with students, we don't always even know when they have had an issue.

There were a few good comments, but none fixed, thanks for trying. Issue still here.
Understood, thanks.
