Question
windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile.
Hi all!
I have 2 terminal servers (W2k3) with Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 installed, 1 Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller and both TS are members of "Mydomain".
All users have Roaming Profiles defined in the "Profile" attribute in the AD Schema as follows: "\\SERVER\Profile$\Usernam
After a few days without restarting the TS they get this error when Launching an application: "windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile." It seems that they loose rights to the resource because when i log on as the user and paste the profile path in to the explorer's Adress Field i get this error: "Access to the resource '\\SERVER\Profile$\Usernam
If i restart the TS-Server everything works fine again for a while...
Any suggestions anyone?

Hi and Thank's for your replies!
There are no "Funky":-) apps on the server.... Only MSOffice 2003, Adobe Reader 7.0, And MF PS 4.0.
There are at the most 5 concurrent users on the server...
I am using Load Balancing on all applications in the farm, and the users profile is copied from the Domain Controller to the profiles directory on the server that runs the application.... Is it possible that there could be a problem if the user starts an application on "server 1" and then starts another application at almost the same time on "server 2"??
Anyway... here are the errors from the event log on server2

what are the security rights on a particular user's profile folder? List all who have access and which rights... do this for a user that has had a problem logging in. Sounds like a corrupt profile but doesn't really make sense how a reboot of the Citrix server fixes the problem
Also have you checked the registry size on the server and available virtual memory?
All Users have the same problem...
I have made hidden share called "\\SERVERNAME\Profiles$\" and created a directory for every user here.
The permissions on the share are set to "Change" and "Read" for all the users... The security rights on the shared folder is:
All users have Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write.
On the subfolder that contains the profile the security permissions are as follows:
The user have Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write.
Available VM seems ok... Hmmm... (I feel stupid now but...) where can i see the registry size in W2k3 SP2? It used to be at the same place where the Paging File was set.... But not in this ver...
I dont think there is a corrupted profile... When the error first starts with one user... every user gets the same error...
How many users are on the system when this happens? Have you done any perfmon checks to see if any PTE's or Paged pool memory is running out? go to http://www.brianmadden.com

Probably a memory leak or your running out of kernel memory somewhere. do you have any funky apps on there? How many users are on the server concurrently?
