Windows 8 Temporary Profile Loading in Domain Environment
I have a Windows 8 machine that belongs to a domain. The DC is Windows Server 2008 R2. profiles are stored on the DC.
When I sign on with my user account to the Win8 machine, the roaming profile is not being loaded. A temporary local profile is being used.
I cannot get the roaming profile to load.
There are no errors in the Win8 eventlog.
Not sure where to go with this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This is most probably permission issue
Download and install patch mentioned in below article on windows 8 machines
Also create registry entry as mentioned in article
Also check Roaming profile root share permission as mentioned in article

This is a problem with a new machine I am an administrator on the domain. I have permissions to the profile directories. I have tried the steps suggested by Mahesh, but it is still loading as a temporary profile.
If the problem exists with single user,
Try deleting roaming profile entry for affected user in ADUC properties and check if you are able to logon with local profile
If you get success, then check above registry key for presence of any temp profile and if found delete that
Then logoff machine and add roaming profile entry again in user properties in ADUC and check if it works

Mahesh,
I am the one who is having issue on the Windows 8 machine. Although it appears it is the machine, I tried you suggestions to remove the roaming information in the ADUC. I still logged on with a temporary profile and there were no entries in the registry as indicated by Santosh.

If you could please check if you are able to logon to another workstation smoothly ?
Also check if another user is able to logon your workstation smoothly ?
If both of above answers are Yes, then probably your local profile got corrupted on computer
The only option I can see in that case logon to your machine with local administrator, backup your IMP data and delete \ wipe out your local profile and roaming profile as well from My Computer properties\ profile tab
Then recreate new local and roaming profile for you, it will work hopefully

I was able to log in with another username. It was successful. Their profile status is local. It appears as though my username on the win8 machine is somehow corrupted. Mine logs in with a status of temp. How do I COMPLETELY remove my local/roaming profile from the win 8 machine.
I have deleted all folders and cleared registry of my profile information. When I log back in it is still showing my with the temp status.

I have deleted the information that you requested, however I am still logging in with a status of temp. I tried to log into another machine which was a windows 7 machine with a clean install. I am logging into that machine with a profile status of temp as well. Is there something at the DC that I should be addressing with my username?

As I am looking through the results, I am not sure if I am seeing anything that stands out.
Is there something in particular that I should be looking for?

Well, I would like to followup:
After some intense investigation, I found that somehow my account on the domain was made part of the "Domain Guest" account. This was causing the inability to create a profile. Once removed from that group, all was well.
Mahesh, thank you for narrowing down my search, and thank you to Santosh for your help as well.

Is this a new user, or new PC, or just a new issue?
