The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Local profile "lost" and has status "Backup" and a new which was created for the user at logon has status "Temp"

Asked by it-maintenance in Windows Network Security

Tags: , , ,

Dear all,

I hope you can help with this tricky one!

Scenario:
1. User exist for long time in AD (let's refer to this as DOMAIN\Username)
2. User has for long time logged on to the same PC and the profile exist on this (not roamed).
3. Profile is found as C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\
4. Profile shown in User Profiles (System Properties -> Advanced) as DOMAIN\Username
5. User log on to DOMAIN (i.e. not the PC directly - no account exist for the User on the PC).

What happend:
6. User logged into the domain on the PC this morning and get's a new profile created upon Default profile, i.e. user complain icons and application settings are lost.

What is seen now:
7. Profile is still found as C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\ (i.e. no .000 etc.)
8. Looking at User Profiles (System Properties -> Advanced) I find two profiles named DOMAIN\Username - only apparent difference (except size of course is less of the newly created/last modified) is the Status of the "real" profile is "Backup" and the Status of the newly created is "Temp". I also note that "real" profile can have "type changed" be "deleted" and "copied to" whereas the newly created can only be "Change Type" (buttons "Delete" and "Copy To" are grey'ed out).

Question:
9. Is there a way I can get the "real" profile back?
10. Has this anything to do with changing the "Status" (as detailed in '8' above)?

Kind regards,
Soren Mikkelsen
