User cannot login due to profile error
This is one of many problems I am having with a 2003 server environment. I have users on XP Pro who attempt to first login to the domain, so they can launch Remote Desktop. When logging in to the desktop they get the following error:
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, or that your network is functioning correctly. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
DETAIL - Not enough storage is available to process this command.
If I login in to their PC as Administrator, and delete the local profile of the user, they can login one time, but the problem occurs again, if they log out, and try to login again.
I googled around and found a doc on doing a regedit (http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t62001.html) I changed the value to "21 (On main DC), but it didn't change anything.

It has been fine forever. What could change that would require I do this?
I did make the change, and am waiting to hear back from the user, whether it worked or not.

It could be any number of things. Maybe a permission change was made in a parent folder that was applied down to the sub folders causing the new profile folders inherited.
Hopefully the permission change resolves the issue.

That did not resolve the issue. "Everyone has full control of "Documents and Settings"
Sorry to hear that it's not working. I'll do more digging and see if I can find a resolution for you.
On the local PC can you tell me if Default User folder is still under Document and Settings?
IF Default User is not there you'll have to recreate that account.
Here's how you do it:
1. Log on to the computer as the administrator
2. Then create an user called default user.
3. Log off as the administrator, and then log on to the computer through the default user account that you just created.
Now try to log in with whichever user (Domain) you like and you should be fine.

Yes it is.

I created the default (local) account without a password, logged in as default, logged out as default, and attempted to login as normal domain user, but get the same error.
I'm all out of ideas on this one. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

We are finding many workstations having this problem now. Some say "Incorrect Function" The rest are as I described.
Is there anymore info/errors in the event logs that would help shine more light on the issue at hand?
