User Profile Service failed the logon
I have just finished setting up 2 brand new workstations, Windows 7 64-bit, and manually joined them to our domain, Small Business Server 2003, and was able to log into both workstations using the domain administrator account, but when I try to log into the workstations with any other domain user account i get the "The User Profile Service service failed the logon" error message. I have been through numerous Microsoft KB articles and nothing thus far has worked.

yea i have been through that KB about 5 times already. I have even deleted the Default User account and copied over the contents from the domain administrator account, and still have the error. I have also changed the permissions on the Users folder to allow full control for everyone but still same problem.
It also appears that I can not create a new account specific to the workstation as well. I have begun re-installing windows on 1 of the workstations to see if it was possible that Dell's default install of windows 7 had been corrupt for some reason.

the re-installation of windows seems to have fixed the problem(s)
Glad to hear that your machines are up and running normally again! As I said earlier, over the years I have found that the proprietary OEM builds of Windows tend to be rather quirky. Our team always utilizes a native Microsoft build of Windows 7, customizes the image to suit our purposes, and then deploys it throughout the domain.
I recently had this same problem. I resolved it by booting into Safe Mode with Networking with the users username. Windows was able to create the profile in safe mode. After rebooting normally the user was now able to log into their Windows profile.
The majority of the time that we see this error, it's because there were profiles that were already present within the Windows build (perhaps even the master image), and then they were manually deleted in Windows Explorer instead of being properly removed by using the Advanced System Settings interface. As a result, registry remnants cause that exact message to appear:
