1 machine of 10 on a small domain is having quirks. &nbsp;It is part of the domain, but the user has been logging in as administrator on the local machine, not a user of the domain.<br />
<br />
things have been working (username and password for the machine account are the same for the domain).<br />
<br />
trying to log in with their domain account and I get a message about problem with the profile, you are logged in with a temp profile, see the logs for why. &nbsp;I look in the logs and don't see anything.<br />
<br />
I took the machine out of the domain. &nbsp;I then deleted the computer from active directory on the server (only 1 server in the domain). &nbsp;I deleted the profiles of unused accounts, including users.<br />
<br />
I rejoin the machine to the domain and same thing - temp profile when logging in as that specific user. any other user doesn't get the tempp profile message.<br />
<br />
What else can I do? &nbsp;Delete that user from the domain then recreate it? What would that break?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
