this is the second appointment with this new section that wants to describe, briefly, what happens every day in my technical-sysadmin life.
Sometimes what happens is really interesting, other time is not......I would try to give you the most interesting things.
In this article I'll give you an alternative solution, not easy to find on the web, related to Windows 7. An early formatted computer, joined to an active directory domain, was not able to build the user profile. An administrator, instead, could login without any kind of issue.
Most of the articles that you find surfing the web are inherent to a corrupted profile that must be deleted from the GUI interface and from the registry too.
In my case the end user was not able to login THE FIRST TIME......so no profile was created, no registry keys and so on.
The error was similar to the screenshot posted below :
After searching I found a trail where someone was referring to the DEFAULT profile that is copied/cloned when a user logon for the first time.
So the first step was to double check the NTFS permission on this folder that must be :
- Administrators and SYSTEM --> FULL CONTROL
- Users and Everyone --> Read and Execute
In my case the permissions were correct so , at this point, I was worried for some corruption. I found some other people that followed an alternative way to solve it : copying the DEFAULT profile from another computer.
That's ALL !!!
After copying the DEFAULT profile from a working Windows 7 machine everything is back to normal and the end user was able to login.
Only for a complete examination I post below some event viewer IDs (1500, 1509,1511) that helped me to find the solution.
Hope this helps.
See you soon.
