Windows 7 - User account loses profile
One of my clients "lost" her user account profile last night. Some details:
- I verified that she's logged in with her correct domain account.
- All Windows, Office, and other user-based configuration settings are temporarily gone.
- I saved a test file to her current desktop. It ended up here: C:\Windows\System32\config \systempro file\deskt op
- Her correct profile now has a status of "Backup." (See Image 1.)
- There's an additional profile named "Account Unknown" that appears to be the profile she's currently using. (See Image 1.)
- I'm getting all sorts of weird behavior when I type certain keys. "T" for instance, launched a new instance of Remote Desktop client. I'm not sure if the weird key behavior is purely a function of her machine, my remote VNC session, or the combination of the two. (I'll get the machine in front of me tomorrow.)

I had this backup status already too. It went away after a restart.
A profile is in backup status to "help" the backup software with locked files. So please restart and check if the problem persists.

Tolomir,
That did the trick! Thanks!

It could be a trust relationshop error, where there any error messages?
