Administrator logon Error on Server
I have a Server 2008 R2 machine. When trying to logon as the administrator I get a "the user profile service has failed error". I have deleted the profile and the registry keys also. Yet when logging in the user profile service error persists. Any thoughts . Thanks in advance.

I can logon to the server with a backup admin account. Is when administrator is used when error occurs. I get a event id 1202 0x534 error in event log
Did you unload the hive from the registry?

NOt sure exactly how to do that. Has been a while. Can you advise?
Sure
Click start, run, regedit
under HKEY_Users you'll have something like S-1-5-21-602003230-7909254
Right click it
Permissions
Find the administrator hive
Click file
unload hive
Click start, run, regedit
under HKEY_Users you'll have something like S-1-5-21-602003230-7909254
Right click it
Permissions
Find the administrator hive
Click file
unload hive
Sorry, under permissions, it'll have only the administrator account in there... You need to unload that one. It'll be the local admin group, administrator, system and something else.

I get a access denied when trying that

Great advice thank you so much.
No problem, i'm pleased it worked.
A simple reboot would have also sorted it however there are those times when a reboot won't be suitable.

The other option is to unload the hive remotely.
