Domain Administrator cannot create user profile on Windows 7
Dear Sir,
I've a domain administrator account (i.e. a_adm) cannot create user profile on Windows 7 workstation which joined Domain.
Suppose the profile will create when the domain administrator login the first time. Windows 7 have a pop up said temp profile is using.
But the other domain administrator account (i.e. b_adm) without any problem.
Please help.
With regards,
Wataw

Just as a side notice, most of the times I saw temporary user profiles created was in the case when file system have an error (bad blocks, error in MFT). Do HDD error checking of system partition.
I would have to agree with Stellar on this one. This is a typical issue we have on Citrix servers if the user profiles have been remove from the server by simply deleting the folder. In some cases it leaves remnants of the profile in the registry and when a user logs in it references the registry location to ensure that the profile is there. It shows the path in the registry so it will not create a new profile however it creates a temp profile in its place. Deleting the registry key is the only want around this.
I also believe this is true because it is only happening to 1 user and regardless if the user has admin privileges or not does not matter.

Dear Experts,
Stellar is correct, I've found that there's a a_adm file located on C:\Users . And in System Properties, User Profiles, the profile status is backup. Delete the file and the profile by another administrator account, the problem solved.

Check the Profile tab in your screenshot - is there anything in the Profile path field?
If the a_adm account doesn't have a roaming profile you'll need to check the logs to see why its loading a temp profile.
Perhaps try removing the local profile off the Windows 7 workstation by going to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings on the top left > Settings button in the User Profiles section > click on a_adm in the list > click on the Delete button
