How to troubleshoot failing applications or user profiles

Hi,
I have a very curious issue. I am running Adobe Lightroom 3.3 64 bit mode for quite some time now.
However two days ago it fails to startup, and although it doesn't use a lot of processing power (activity monitor), my laptop is very slow and almost unresponsive when it happens.
Running Lightroom in 32 bit mode is fine, but also running it when logged in as another user in both 32 and 64 bit mode goes well.
I have also ran Mac OS X 10.6.5. in 32 and 64 bit mode, but the same issue here.
So I suspect the issue has something to do with my user, and not with the application itself.
How can I troubleshoot my userprofile?
Hope someone can help me out!
Kind regards,
Roeland

Thanks again baltwo!
Here's how I did it:
1. I copied the whole Library/Preferences file of my corrupted user id to my new user id (in which I had confirmed everything worked. (To make sure it has something to do with the preference files.)
Result: Lightroom won't start in 64 bit mode.
2. I copied the clean preferences list back to my clean user profile (LR3 worked again in 64bit) and only copied the "dirty" Lightroom 3 plist files to my new userid preferences folder.
Result: Lightroom3 did not work anymore in 64 bit mode. So it had to be in de Lightroom preferences.
3. I started with my "dirty" LR3 preference file in 32 bit mode.
I started searching for errors.
First of course in the 3rd party plugins. I noticed that all my third party plugins were installed but not running. So removed all corrupted plugins and voila! It runs again in 64 bit mode.
So now I redownload the plugins and install them one by one.
Still running ok!
Probably something has corrupted my plugins directory, not sure what that could be. Except that I'm synchronizing a higher level directory including this one, so maybe that is it.
Thanks everyone for the help!

How to fix Workflow failed to get user profile for user:

hi All,
How to fix Workflow failed to get user profile for user when using Lookup function in sharepoint designer?

Worflow failed to get user profile for user

I have a workflow that sends an email to a user. In the workflow email, one line has the lookup [%User Profiles:Name%], with Return field "As String" of the list item Field "Account Name" with Value "Current Item:Created By".
This workflow works for everyone, except it Errors when one user creats an item in this list. The error is "Workflow failed to get user profile for user... System Account - An error has occurred in Workflow Name"
and more detailed error found in logs: "AutoStart Workflow: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Recursive workflows are not permitted.     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAutostartEventReceiver.<>c__DisplayClass1.<AutoStartWorkflow>b__0(SPSite

When I run "get-addomain -identity [FQDN]", I noticed that our DNSRoot has a totally different name than our NetBIOSName, so I followed this article and made sure to set netbiosdomainnamesenabled to TRUE:
http://meandmysharepoint.blogspot.ca/2012/09/netbiosdomainnamesenabled-and.html
To give you an idea of our setup, our DNSRoot is "abc.domain.com" and our NetBIOSName is "TESTING"; 2 totally different names. When I run "get-addomain -identity [FQDN]", the Name field is: "abc" (just the first
part of the DNSRoot); therefore, when I look up this user's profile in Sharepoint Manage User Profiles, his account shows as "abc\username" when it should be "TESTING\username".
I did an IISReset, and I ran a Full Profile Sync. But the workflow still Errors for this user.
Any ideas how to fix this? Should I delete MySites and User Profile Service application and recreate them?
Any tips would be appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when sending an email to the user in workflow.
Did you delete the existing Connections before setting NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled?
If not, I recommend to delete and recreate your AD connections, then set NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled to true.
Or you can delete the original User Profile Service Application and create a new one, then set the NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled to true and start the User Profile Service Application
synchronization.

How do I tell if a user profile is marked for deletion?

This is likely a question with a simple answer, but searching through Google and here hasn't helped.
How do I tell if a user profile has been marked for deletion?
Will it appear in the "Manager User Profiles" area of the User Profile Service Application management?
Do I need to look somewhere else?
This is probably obvious, and I just have looking disease, but your assistance is most appreciated!

As Paul said you can see that on UP admin page. also you can use powershell to get the list of all use in powershell.

Error - The registration of the service "User Profile Service" has failed. The user profile can not be loaded

I am running an environment with an Active Directory and Terminal Servers.
I have searched high and low for resolutions to this error but I cannot find anything related to my situation, let me explain further.
The fixes I found are related to local users only.
When I create a new user in the Active Directory I provide the paths to the profile folder in the "Remote Desktop Profile" and "Profile tab" lets say for example \\ad001\home\%username% and \\ad001\profil\%username% .
I give rights to the user to read/write the "home" folder which is mapped for folder redirection. An I know that when the user first logs on it should create a "v2.%username%" folder upon successful logon. This is when I am
presented with the error message below:
"The registration of the service "User Profile Service" has failed.
The user profile can not be loaded"
Does anyone have any experience with this or know a suitable fix. Again this is for the "Roaming" profile creation no local.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Did you receive for any one user or for all users?
Have you tried to solve the issue by fixing the user account profile?
For that you can adjust the registry setting “ProfileImagePath” with
particular SID of that user under below mention path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Also if this can’t resolve the issue you can try to delete the SID of that user or renaming the old and and then check the result again by creating new profile for that users.
More information.
You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error message

Home Premium cannot logon to a Domain, nor can it be set to try it.
when you get the logon window, try hitting the three-finger salute )Ctrl+Alt+Del) twice – it may bring up the old-style login window – enter your credentials there.

How do I fix a corrupt user profile

Hi,
I have a user profile that is corrupt. In CA, under People, Manage User Profiles, I can't find the broken user profile but when I try to create profile again with New Profile. It won't let me. As it says the Profile exists already. How do I
fix this broken profile in SharePoint 2013? Thanks.
SPYliu

I've had to use code like the above to delete user profiles before - however - I would strongly suggest excluding the loop from the above code - otherwise you'll be deleting ALL user profiles - which doesn't seem to be what you want to do
- e.g:
/* Load required Assemblies for SharePoint Server and User Profile */
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.Office.Server”)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles”)
/* Central Adminstration URL or any Web Application*/
$url = "http://myserver:Port"
/* Create a new Context Object */
$contextWeb = New-Object
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://servername");
/* Get the right Service Context */
$ServerContext = [Microsoft.Office.Server.ServerContext]::GetContext($contextWeb);
/* create a new connection to the UserProfileManager */
$UserProfileManager = New-Object
Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($ServerContext);
/* Remove Profile */ $UserProfileManager.RemoveUserProfile("CONTOSO\joesmith");

Can anyone explain, why I am getting this error. Thanks.

Hi Rashid,
Before Creating the Service Application, User Profile Service should be started as Central Administration -> Manage Services on server -> Start User Profile Service.
After the serivce is started, then test again, compare the result.
Also, you can upgrade User Profile service as the following article:

How can i start a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one ?

hi
i create a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one
when i use : Get-SPServiceApplication i can see that hi is created but
when i use Get-SPServiceInstance i can see it i can see only the old one

Hi,
The Get-SPServiceInstance returns the services instance for a specific server or the entire farm. The service instance GUID is unique to every farm and cannot be changed.
For starting a fresh with the User Profile Service configuration, you can unprovision and re-provision the User Profile Service:

The User Profile Service service failed to Login user Profile error in Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I recently purchased a new Dell Inspirion 1564 Laptop which had Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
The hardware configuration is i5 core Processor, 4GB Ram , 320GB HDD and 512MB Graphics card.
Today morning, I couldn't login as the system returned the following error after I entered the password.
"The User Profile Service service failed to login.
User Profile cannot be loaded"
I couldn't login at all as i had not created any other user account, even the face recognition didn't work.
I had to restore my pc to the previous state. I believe this happened after the installation of Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - March 2010 (KB890830) update, not immeditately though as i used the system few times after the installation of this update.
Is this a bug? I cant imagine if this happens if I am about to give a presentation, its going to be disastrous!
Any help is appreciated

I'm getting the same issue - I'm the IT Manager at a school where every student has a laptop (fujitsu tablet T4410). This occurs to at least one new student every day. I have been unable to re-create the issue on demand, although I suspect it occurs when a temporary user profile gets created after the logon process takes too long (due to some disk activity, possibly related to windows updates or some thing). When we were creating student accounts on the machines, this would occur if we attempted to log in the newly created account before the computer had 'settled down' - it seems that there is a logon timeout, after which something stops working. If the new user's first logon happened too soon after booting, the profile would be corrupted. But this doesn't quite explain why it occurs seemingly randomly now.
My current solution is to boot into safe mode, back up the user's files, delete the account, create it again (the other suggested solutions on the internet did not work)
If you're desperate, you can log in while in safe mode, and use that to create a new account.
In any case, this is proving a very bad experience of Windows 7 for my students, and I hope to see a more useful fix for this soon.

Hard problem. how to track which application a user opens next?

Hello,
When the user runs my program,
then **with his permission**, I want to be able to track
which application the user has opened.
For example, if he opens resume.rtf in MSWord, then I
should be able to record or store the full path of
MSWord and also the document path (c:\my
documents\resume.rtf).
Do you know how to do it?
I would appreciate any help.

Shared applications among user profiles?

My wife and I have separate user profiles for our home computer. When I upload photos she can not access them from iPhoto unless she is logged in to my profile. The same is true for me if she uploads photos.
Is there a way for us to have a universal or shared applications (at this time, specifically iPhoto) across multiple profiles?

What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?

How to determine which AD server User Profiles is pulling from?

I have a User Profile set up, and can't recall specifying an AD server.
I've been asked to run multiple UP incrementals during the day. The SharePoint and SQL server seem capable of handling it, but I forgot to check performance of the AD server(s) during the nighly incremental.
How would I determine which AD server is being used, so I can test CPU and memory?
Thanks,
