"Please Wait For The User Profile Service" message when logging on to TS 2008

I have a Windows 2008 AD Domain with 2 Windows 2008 Terminal Servers. Both are configured identically. I have the TS Roaming profiles stored on a 3rd server and a GPO pointing all users to the roaming profiles. On one of the servers everything works perfectly. On the second server the users, after they input their credentials, get the following message "Please Wait For The User Profile Service". The message can stay there for up to 3 minutes, then they are logged innormall with the correct profile. This problem does not occur on log off. Any help would be appreciated

99% of the times I had this problem it was caused by either DNS issues or network bindings.
Are your servers multihomed? In other words: do you have multiple network cards? If so, make sure your "production" card is on top in the network connections -> advanced settings -> adapters and bindings.
You could also enable user env logging (search microsoft how to do that)

Windows 7 very slow logon, Waiting for the User Profile Service, winlogon event 6006

Hello,
Every so often one of our Windows 7 clients which is not normally having any delay at logon will take a very long time to login. This may be 10 or 20 minutes or up to an hour in some cases.
Typically the event log will contain entries like
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> took 572 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).
There is no further information available from Event Log Online Help, nor any additional detail as to why the logon event was so slow. During the delay the user will just see "Waiting for the User Profile Service" on their screen.
We first started seeing this problem with Windows Vista and if anything the situation has not improved since then. It has never happened with any of our Windows XP users.
We are currently planning a migration of computers to Windows 7 but stuff like this which has not been resolved in Windows over a 2 year period will stall that migration. The least improvement is to increase the event notification to give a lot more
information on why the user profile processing has stalled.

Hi,
When did the issue begin to occur? Did it occur after installing certain application or applying certain policy?
To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following step.
1. Restart the machine in Safe Mode with Networking to check whether the system can login quicker.
2. Type “gpedit.msc” in Search box and press Enter. Navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon
Please double click “Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon” policy and disable it.
3. Perform a
Clean Boot to check the result.
Thanks,
Novak

I have selected 'Show on edit details page' for the property 'Status Message' for the User Profile Service, yet i do not see the property.

I would like to have the ability for the user to edit the property 'Status Message'. In the properties it says that it should be available in the details section however I am not seeing it there. Does anyone know if I might have something set
incorrectly or is this expected behavior.

Facing the user profile service service failed error message

Hi,
This is prasad, and am facing the below error message while i try to logon to the system with administrative password.
The User Profile Service service failed the logon.
User Profile cannot be loaded.
Can you please help me out how to resolve the above issue as the earliest?
Thanks in advance.
With regards,
Prasad V

This is probablly caused by a virus.. When this happened to me it did work in safe mode. You should disable all start up programs except for the programs needed to start up. TRy unninstalling all of the programs. Do you have more than one user account? I`m guessing you have vista. What I did was reinstall the vista. I had a backup on one partion of the disk and transfered that but it did fail. INStead I ended up with not being able to start it up. I called aacer and they gave me a new bsckup disk. IF you have more than one account then you can easly transfer all the doccuments and redo everything. You may have to get office and all thoose other programs again. I found a lot of extrtra viruses and spyware when I did the scan. So, it may be hard to get back in. JUSt log into safe mode, make an extra account if possile. Good luck!

How do I prevent "The user profile service service failed the log on" error messages?

I work for an organization with approximately 60 staff members across ~80 Windows 7 Professional PCs. Users log in with Active Directory accounts.
Approximately once per month, a random user will get an error message while attempting to log into their machine that says "The user profile service service failed the log on." The solution to resolve this issue is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215?ppud=4&wa=wsignin1.0.
The problem is that I want to PREVENT this issue from happening, as it is incredibly inconvenient for the user. I had one staff member board a 5-hour plane trip expecting to do work, and once she got in the air she logged in and
received the error message and was unable to use her computer for the trip. I've had others locked out of their computer with deadlines to get things done, while I am at home off the clock. Editing the registry is not an easy fix, and so it's not something
I can just post instructions for in a knowledgebase article.
Does anyone know how to prevent this issue from occurring? I believe that it has something to do with a network-based startup script, or a service trying to connect to our file server, or the computer trying to connect to our ad server. All of these
are blocked by firewalls (unless the user is off-site), and I suspect that the services may be timing out, causing the user profile service service failed the logon error message, but I can't seem to eliminate it, after nearly a year of trying.
90% of the time this problem occurs when the user is off-site, but it has happened while the user is in the office too. Once the user gets this error message, the only way to resolve the problem is to log into their computer as a localadministrator account
and perform the method #1 fix in the knowledgebase article.
Thanks

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am not technologically savvy as a result I'm having trouble understanding previous posts on "The user profile service service failed to logon user profile cannot be loaded." Lingo on domain reset etc, not sure that this pertains to solving my issue
... I cant even get pass the sign in page let alone make changes. I am having this issue with my Dell Studio XPS 1340 with Windows 7 Home Premium. If anyone can provide their two cents I would greatly appreciate.
Very Respectfully,

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.

"The user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded."

I recently purchased a refurbished laptop from MTC (windows 7) and have been trying to remote into the windows systems at my school but I keep receiving this error message. I'm aware there are dozens of threads on this topic but mine is slightly different.
Bear with me, I know next to nothing about computers...
I initially tried to follow the instructions given out by Microsoft (can't add a link here), but when it comes to looking at my S-1-5 directories, I do not have any that end in .bak, nor do I have two equally names ones. I have one that is a string
of numbers followed by -1000 and one with the same string of numbers but ending in -500.
The -1000 directory is missing the RunLogonScriptSync file, and has my account listed under value name for the ProfileImagePath information. The -500 directory has the RunLogonScriptSync file and has "Administrator" listed under
the value name for the ProfileImagePath.
In the instructions cited above I tried skipping to step 15 and accessing C:\Users\default\appdata\local\application data but I get an error message saying access is denied. So I'm thinking there are two administrative accounts on this laptop, but
when I access the accounts on the laptop I can only see mine.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

the "access denied" message, is making you think this?
if so, ignore that, since the "access denied" message is a classic MSFT misdirection.
It is *not* that you don't have access - the path you are trying to navigate to does not actually exist (it is a junction/reparse, not a folder), and, Windows Explorer doesn't follow that nicely, so it throws a misleading error message:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local>dir /AL
Volume in drive C is Windows7_OS
Volume Serial Number is C0EB-A540
Directory of C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local
14/07/2009 03:08 PM    <JUNCTION>     Application Data [C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local]

               3 Dir(s) 33,354,055,680 bytes free
Instead, the "user profile service service failed the logon" can be commonly caused by an improperly secured file within any of the other folders (folders which form the Default User profile).
Here's one which caught me out, and MSFT helped me resolve via a support case, and they blogged it afterwards:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/asiatech/archive/2014/01/30/new-user-gets-event-1509-after-deploying-ie9-10-11-packaged-by-ieak.aspx
(my advice to you, is to dive into the event log with eventvwr, and look for an event similar to 1509, which should point you in the right direction for your particular situation)

Please wait for the group policy client - shutting down issues

Hi
I have issues with shutting down machines. When machine is connected to company's LAN everything works fine. However, if machine is connected to VPN - Juniper NC - 1 hour or more it always hangs when it is shutting down. When I shut down the machine
(verbose mode on), first stage is:
Please wait for the system Event Notification service.
This ends exactly
after 3 minutes. Next stage:
Please wait for the group policy client windows 7
...is never timed out (even after few hours). Machine never shuts down.
In Application logs there are always these 4 events when machine is unsuccessfully shutting down:
6005: The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Logoff).
4627: The COM+ Event System timed out attempting to fire the Logoff method on event class {D5978650-5B9F-11D1-8DD2-00AA004ABD5E} for publisher and subscriber . The subscriber failed to respond within 180 seconds.
The display name of the subscription is "ISensLogon2". The HRESULT was 80010002.
6006: The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> took 180 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logoff).
6005: The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Logoff).
Sens is timed out after 3 minutes while there is no 6006 event for GPClient and machine is stuck there for ages (Please wait for the group policy client
stage). I noticed in System logs that machine always hangs if there is this error
5783: The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\server for the domain X is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \\machine to \\server has been cancelled.

I tried with signing out from VPN before shutting down machine, I even switched off WiFi but machine still hung. If i tried to get GP results before shutting down machine it takes ages and it is stuck in "Getting the user name" stage.
Gpupdate /force never updates policy (It stops at Updating Policy...). I tired with installing different hotfixes which did not resolve the issue. I never have any
issues with logging in, no GP scripts are applied when user is logging off or on, no roaming profiles. The only issue is when machine needs to be shut down.
I excluded 1 machine from GP and left it on VPN for a few hours, several times. It always shuts down successfully. I applied GP back one by one and the one which is presumably causing an issue is Avecto which adds admin rights when VPN application
starts (event 100):
Process started with admin rights added to token.
Command Line: "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Juniper Networks\Setup Client\JuniperSetupClient.exe"
Process Id: 5540

Application Group: EA-PrivilegeGuardSettings.Applications Granted Admin Rights
Reason: <None>
File Name: c:\users\User\appdata\roaming\juniper networks\setup client\junipersetupclient.exe
Hash: 27D8463A913A802E555AEEF45717B122249AA993
Certificate: Juniper Networks, Inc.
Description: Juniper Setup Client

Product Name: Juniper Setup Client
Product Code: <None>

I guess there is a DNS issues when machine is on VPN which leads that GP cannot be applied / updated. Not sure if or why Avecto would have an impact on this. When machine is trying to shut down it still somehow thinks it is connected to DC. What
I also noticed are several explorer crashes while machine is on VPN.
Does anyone have same issues? All machines are Dell with Juniper NC (VPN).
Thanks,

Hi,
According to event log, Winlogon process takes a long time to handle logoff event. That's to say winlogon process is waiting for response to logoff.
According to your description after, this problem is most probably caused by Avecto. You can try to disable or uninstall it temporarily for test.
To make further troubleshoot with this problem, you can try to use WPT (Windows Performance Tool) to make troubleshoot.

Windows Server 2012 Login Issue "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded."

Whenever I try to login to our Exchange Server, I receive the following error:
"The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded."
The issue affects more than one user.
Relevant Info:
Server Version: 2012 Datacenter
Exchange Version: 2013
The Exchange server is virtualized.
What I've tried:
1) Remote Desktop from a workstation on the network
2) Remote Desktop from Virtual Machine Manager
3) Connect via console from Virtual Machine Manager
4) Accessing the server via Computer Management and adding my user account to Allow Login via Remote Desktop
5) Creating a new user account for myself by copying the account of a user who can get in
6) Rebooting
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Aaron,
I would suggest you to check the event log .
Maybe this issue due to the permission of profile folder , please refer to the following link :

The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

I have one Admin profile (me) and 1 guest profile (Guest)
I have followed the instructions in Microsoft KB 947215
In step 4 it says to locate the S-1-5 folders, which I have done, find the two matching file numbers and change the .bak/ba extensions. Problem is I have 4 folders and I am not sure which to rename. If I try to add the .ba extension on the file named

Hi,
If you want to modify the registry, you must have administrator privilege.
Since no other administrator account in your computer, you may have to active the built-in administrator account.

The User Profile Service failed the logon

Hi
Over the last few weeks I have had literally 100's of my customers reporting this problem
The usual "The User Profile Service failed the logon" message comes up when they try to login
I have been fixing each time by changing the profilelist registry entries as per
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215
But it keeps happening, some customers are then okay for a week or two and it then happens again
Has anyone else been seeing a lot of this issue? and if so any ideas what is causing it
All the computers have been checked for viruses and have valid security software loaded, so don't think virus related, but is getting annoying now and rightly so some of my customers are getting fed up having to pay to get it fixed each time
Any ideas?
Darren Rose

Hi,
It seems this is related to your environment, let’s test if we can eliminate this issue by uninstalling the most common software on few test machines.

Satellite L450 - The user profile service failed the log on

Hi
I have a Toshiba Satellite L450 and I have had it for a while now and this has never happened before, when I turn it on it goes through the usual and then comes up with my name and a box for me to type my password, as normal. But when I put my password in it says:
The user profile service failed the log on
User profile cannot be loaded
The only option I have is to log off and when I do it takes me back to the password bit. If I put the password in wrong it tells me its wrong.....
Cant do anything with it, I have tried shutting down, etc....looked through the manual and cant see anything about it in there either.......... :(

Can't Log Any Users Onto My Domain Except the Administrator Getting The Following Error "The user profile service failed the logon"

Hi All,
I am currently completing a project for college which involves the creation of a domain, OU's, GPO's etc within a virtual environment.
I am using Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running this on VMware however after having completed and tested all my GPO's now none of my users are able to log on to the domain and keep getting the following error message "The user profile service failed
the logon" "User profile cannot be loaded".
I have tried to a lot of different options prior to posting which include:
Creating a new user account/s in case the previous user policies were corrupt the same error message is shown.
I also configured my DC to allow users to log onto the DC in case this was a network issue but the same error still exists.
My Administrator account always logs onto the DC without fail and applies all the GPO's as it should.
I have rebuilt my servers twice now at this stage and the same problems keep happening at first it was just confined to users within a single OU but now is Domain wide any suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks,
John

John,
Since this is a project, you may have experimented with various settings in multiple Group Policies, so I would recommend you run the Group Policy Modelling Wizard, as it will show you all the GP settings down to a specific user on a specific computer, plus
tell you which Group Policy sets and which settings, and thereby perhaps find where the problem occurs.
Please mark as answer or vote
as helpful when
it applies. Thanks!

The user profile service: Service failed the log on. User profile can not be loaded.

I am running a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain. with 2 domain controllers.
Every new account created in active directory does not seem to work. Even if the account it copied from one that does still work, it still gives the same error when logging in on a network computer (windows 7). "The user profile service: Service failed
the log on. User profile can not be loaded."
I have looked at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215, which unfortunately does not help. Especially since the SID is not there because the user has not managed to log on yet.
The
"Do not logon users with temporary profiles" Group Policy setting is not configured.
And I have tried force replication too.
I have exhausted all my knowledge.
Please help
Regards
Phil

It might be that the default user profile is corrupted. See that: https://helgeklein.com/blog/2013/09/error-message-explained-user-profile-service-failed-logon/

The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded. (while using Vista)

Hello - I'm receiving the error above when trying to logon on to my computer. I've tried some of the fixes on this site and others and none of them seem to work b/c I get to a certain point and I don't have files. Examples are below:
1). I don't have another account with administrator priv (or if I do, I don't know how to get there).
2). Youtube video offers a fix by making registry edits, but with Windows 7 and once he gets to Windows NT file, current version, profile list - I don't have any of those options.
3). Another fix also suggests doing a reg edit, but I don't have the S-1-5 files with the really long numbers - I only have S-1-5 -18 and S-1-5-19.
Any suggestions on fixes within in Vista would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
