asked on

User Profile Service service failed the logon.

Hi guys,

I am having an issue with loging into my Server 2008 R2 box using a couple of user accounts .

I get the following error
"User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.'"

I have been doing some searching and there are heaps of suggestions on how to fix this issue however mine seems to have some additional problems.

I tried to create a new user from copying a profile and from the New user button and both have the same issue.

Also in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

I can not see the user names in question they don't seems to have a profile at all. The accounts that do work have entry's in this area.

Also on the server at

C:\Users\<user>

The accounts that do not work and have the above error message do not exist at all no folder for the user name even.

This all seems rather odd any suggestions please.

Thank you

We've similarly that Problem in conjunction with SBS (Small Business DC Server 2011).

Not all User have the same Problem and we spend a lot of time unable to solve the Problem (Server-Reboot, New %RootDrive%-Mapping and so on)

So we re-create the affected User by delete them in ActiveDirectory. This Solution works fine maybe serval days, than the Problem occurs again.

As last Solution my colleague install Terminalserver new and the Problem is solved now for month.

Funny was that the Problem occurs after the 6. User logon on Terminalserver so will say "there are only 5 Lics" and the Problem occurs after installing Windows Update... this behavior is by design...

I had no joy on finding a fix however I did find a work around.

One of the old staff accounts was not having this issues so I changed the user name for that account my staff member now has access to the TS server as required.

Not idea however it will do for now.

Thanks for your help guys.
