2012 R2 RDS Temporary Profile issue

I am having the same issue: I have a new Windows 2012 R2 server running AD and RDP. Everything was working great until I rebooted yesterday, and now when I log in at the server, it logs me in as an RDP user and a temporary profile. My
external RDP users log in just fine, and their profiles are okay. What is Microsoft doing about getting a fix for this?

I have done the registry fix on your link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=947242 IT DOES NOT fix this issue on my Windows Server 2012 R2. I STILL get a temporary login. Even if I create another admin user with local
rights and domain rights, and log in at the console, it will log in the first time and create my profile, but after I log off that user, and try to log back in, I get a temp profile.
ALSO, please note that in addition to the temp login, the 2nd issue is that I am being logged in as an RDP login account (in fact, when I look at the RDP connections in my Collections list, one of them is me), while I am, in fact, logging at the console.
Microsoft needs to come out with a hotfix on this. There are many posts of frustrated users with the same issue on a Windows 2012 R2 server running RDP.

Server 2012 R2 RDS, User Profile Disks are created but local profiles are created as well. The UPDs aren't mounting correctly.

2012 R2 RDS Deployment with RDCB HA and UPDs enabled. Everything was working fine with no issues until users started getting temporary profiles. Around the same time UPDs were being created but at the same time a user profile was created in C:\Users.
I actually rebuilt the entire RDS configuration except the SQL Server. It took about 5 hours and was not that big a deal but.... we still have the same issue!
Does anybody have the solution for this?

Hi,
In most cases, the issue is caused by locked UPD. And the workaround is to log off the user. Please check if it is the case.
For example:
RDS user profile disks - getting error temporary profile are being used as UPD are not accessible

Also, please check if you will get the temporary profile when logging on with a local account of the session host server.
If issue persists, please check if there is any related error in Event Viewer and provide us for further research.
Hope this helps.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
Any other suggestions welcome!

I forgot to include the application event log entry for explorer.exe crashing:

Temporary Profile on Windows 7 Pro Domain

I have spent a couple of days reading through all of the threads relating to Windows 7 and temporary profiles, but I haven't found one that addresses my exact issue. I am a teacher and network administrator of 50 computers at a school. All belong to a
domain, manged by the Windows2008 Server OS. 12 of the computers are HP PCs with XP Professional OS, 15 are HP thin clients, using terminal services - Remote Desktop, and the remainder are HP Windows 7 Professional PCs. They have all worked fine for a couple
of years, but suddenly one of the Win7 PCs will only log the Administrator profile on without problem. All other profiles are logged on as temporary profiles, and there is no trace of them in the "Users" folder once logged off. The user can log on
to any one of the other computers without issue, so it is related exclusively to that one PC. There is no restore point available in the restore too. I was hoping someone might have an idea if this problem is related to a damaged Windows file or if it is related
to another issue, and how it can be repaired. I will be appreciative beyond words for any direction offered in resolving this!

Hi,
Regarding temporary profile issue, please also take a look at the following articles:

Multiple RDS Device CALs Issued through Windows 2003 RDS Hosts

Environment
Windows 2012 R2 RDS license server issuing device CALs
5 Citrix farms (PS4, PS4.5, XA5, XA6, and XA6.5)
Symptoms
- RDS device CALs issued through the PS4/Windows 2003 R2 and PS4.5/Windows 2003 R2 servers show the Citrix server name in the Window 2012 R2 RD license manager console instead of the workstation name (See below).
- The PS4/Windows 2003 R2 and PS4.5/Windows 2003 R2 servers are issuing a large number of device CALs to workstations. For example, we have two PS4/Windows 2003 R2 servers that publish a single application. There are 20 users
of the applications with dedicated workstations that should all have a device CAL, but everyday I see device CALs being issued from these servers (See below).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Scott

Hi Scott,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you find any Error\Event Id for this case?
From the description it appears that there is some misconfiguration for redirecting the server during load balancing the device CAL among the server and that’s why device is getting misplaced. You can please relook at configuration for License server with following
article.

Remote App temporary profiles - Solved

I noticed a few old references to temporary profile issues, and thought I would pass along what I had discovered was the cause of our temporary profile issues. This has been occurring on and off for a couple of years, and finally got
to the point where we had to do something about it. Over several weeks of research, procmon traces on individual users, etc., I discovered there were three particular issues causing our temporary profile issues, all related to registry locks on the user
hives, and were indicated by 1530 events in the application log.
VMTools - Specifically the component 'vmhgfs', which appears to not be used in most environments, including ours, so disabling was not an issue for us. More details in
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1317
Symantec Endpoint Protection - specifically the Custom Tasks functionality. In v11 this would lock the registry hive and is changed in 12.x to not cause this issue, so we upgraded to v12 to resolve this part of the issue
Password expiration reminder - For users that their passoword are set to expire, the wlrmdr.exe can lock the user registry under certain conditions and
disabling the setting "Interactive Login: Prompt user to change password before expiration" resolved these few occurrences.
It has now been a couple of weeks and our temporary profiles have gone from hundreds per week to none with the above fixes.

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks

Hello,
I'm implementing Server 2012 RDS session-based.
Can I increase the limit of User Profile Disk after it is initially set?
Is it ok that my Admin user has a User Profile Disk i.e. no local profile on the server as they did previously.
Are PSTs supported on User Profile Disks - previously PSTs were unsupported on network share - User Profile Disks are on network share.
I had an issue where a UPD was created for a user - I then delete the UPD. I then logged in as the user (a domain admin) and expected a local profile to be created - this didn't happen. A temporary profile was created instead. This was unexpected.

Hi Gary,
You can try to change the size of User Profile Disk by mounting .Vhdx file. Please refer below thread for information.
Resize User Profile Disks
As per my research, i can suggest you to use admin local user profile on server.You can get more information for UPD on below listed article.
1. Easier User Data Management with User Profile Disks in Windows Server 2012
2. Using User Profile Disks (UPD) in combination with predefining the Modern UI Start Screen on RDS 2012 (appsfolder.itemdata-ms)
Hope it helps!

User profile images not persisting after log off on Server 2012 R2 RDS Session Hosts

Hi,
We have a 2012 R2 remote desktop deployment, with two session collections, a gateway server, and connection broker.
We have set these session collections to use centralised user profile disks.
What I am having an issue with, is that when a user sets their profile image through the server they have logged on to (I have the desktop experience pack installed so they are able to do this), they can see the user tile has been set with that image in
settings and also on the start menu, but as soon as they log off the server and back on, their profile image has been reset to the default blank image.
I have checked all of my group policy options, and cannot find any settings that could be impacting this.
Does anyone have any ideas why these images are not persisting for users or admins?
Thanks, Eds

Please check that the user is not getting a temporary profile each time he logs in. Also, make sure that the RDP client is properly configured to display the Wallpaper: http://www.webapper.com/blog/index.php/2007/10/18/enabling-desktop-wallpaper-on-remote-desktop-terminal-services/

File Associations in 2012 R2 RDS Server using Roaming Profiles

Background Information
We recently moved from using 2008 R2 RDS servers to 2012 R2 RDS Servers. All of our users
have roaming profiles. When we migrated from the old terminal servers to the
new terminal servers, the users got completely new profiles. The only thing
moved from their old profiles were documents and items on their desktops. We
have multiple PDF viewers/editors installed on our RDS servers. Mostly due to
the cost difference between Adobe Acrobat and other, cheaper products that a
lot of our users can get away with using that don't need the functionality of
Adobe Acrobat.
The Problem
Ever since moving to the new 2012 R2 RDS servers, whenever our users log off terminal
server, the next time they log in their default PDF Viewer association doesn't
load, and they have to go through the process of choosing a default PDF viewer.
This only occurs when there's more than one PDF viewer installed on the server.
We've tested it with only one PDF viewer program, and the setting remains after
logging off and back on. The problem we've found is that the registry key that
houses the default user choice:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice
when set during the session, to Adobe Acrobat 11 for example, reads as such
inside that registry key. For example, the Progid key will say
Acrobat.Document.11 and this setting will persist until the user logs off. Upon
logging off and back on to the terminal servers, if you look at that same
Progid key, it has been converted in to a Hash value, and the Operating System
is unable to read the hashed value and determine what that user's default PDF
Viewer choice is, causing them to have to go through the process of setting it
again.
Things we've tried
We created a GPO that runs a script that exports the registry key upon log off that has
the non-hashed value, and have it set to import that value on log on. However,
by default this registry key has the DENY WRITE permission applied to it, so
when the system tries to import the registry key through the login script it is
unable to do so.
Summary
This issue only started happening once we moved over to 2012 R2 RDS servers. It only
occurs for users using Roaming Profiles. It only occurs when we have multiple
PDF Viewers installed on the servers. Any insight on why this is happening or
how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

I would use GPP to push the value, 'not hashed'. You can give right to the registry too, so like adding everyone group to that registry branch. (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/cc753092.aspx)

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks - Errors during Logoff

I have set up a test Server 2012 RDS collection (Single Server for now) and implemented User Profile disks.
I have two problems.
First: My generic test user can connect and does successfully use the user profile disk as expected. However, at
logoff, the system event log contains these errors:
The error (NTFS 137) is: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\ts3.test encountered a non-retryable error and could not start. The data contains the error code.
The warning (NTFS 50) that concerns me is:
It appears that the user profile disk is being "disabled" or "disconnected"
before the profile data is completely written at logoff. What can I do to troubleshoot this?
Second:
Update: A post from Mike Connor on the following page: -LINK- solved
the problem described below.
My administrative user always logs on now with a temporary profile. At the beginning, the UPD was working and mounting. That stopped working. In attempting to troubleshoot, I logged the admin user off and deleted the UPD disk
file from the share. I remember it working again after generating a new UPD disk file in the share. Soon, it quit working again. I deleted the UPD disk file again from the share and ever since, it has never regenerated a new UPD and
always logs on with a temporary profile.

We experience less to zero problems after an outage with our User Profile Disks when we use the option: "Store all user settings and data on the user profile disk". Other then when we use the other checkbox (even though all checkboxes
underneath are checked).
Our test setup was, an RDSH 2012 r2 server(s), with an 2012r2 server holding the share.
We first tried the "store all user settings" for the User Profile Disk, we logged several accounts onto our RDSH Server we then disconnected our server which holds the share to simulate an outage. After about 5 minutes we connected the
server again holding the share. When the share comes back online, we logged off the users and logged them back in. The result was a valid profile for all the accounts including their last changes from before the share got disconnected.
The exact same test was done with the option: "Store only the following folders on the user profile disk" with all checkboxes underneath checked, which gave us corrupt profiles.. We also did these tests by giving the server holding the share a reboot instead
of an disconnect from network. This gave us the same result. Each test was done at least 2 to 3 times..
I hope others can confirm this as well in their situation, as it seems to be a bug within that specific checkbox.
Looking at the above tests, the best way in my test cases were to exclude the default folders (f.e.: \Documents) if you would like to redirect them instead of using them inside your User Profile Disk. Redirects can be done through GPO Folder redirection
options or GPO registry combined with Environment Variables.
Even after several attemps to simulate an outage, i get left with consistent profiles. I've now also included an hard reset of my virtual machine (that gave the same results as a disconnect of the network card). This was all done through using the: "Store
all user settings in the user profile disk". The other option left us with inconsistent profiles. I hope others can confirm this as well..
Looks to me that the type of connection towards the User profile happens different. You can see this when looking at the C:\users\<username> and subfolders if you use user profile disks. The 2 options show different symbols as well.

Resizing User Profile Disks in Existing Server 2012 R2 RDS Deployment Question

Once the initial maximum size is set and the VHDXs have been created in a Server 2012 R2 RDS deployment, will attempting to increase Collection's maximum UPD size by say.. issuing a Powershell command of:
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName MySpiffyNewCollection -MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 10
over-write the existing VHDXs instead of simply increasing their size? (max size is currently 5GB)
I'm not at a point where I can test this in a lab condition to find out, and I have not found this question asked (or at least not definitively answered) in this forum yet.
-G

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
We can resize the UPD file with below command:
Resize-VHD –Path c:\BaseVHDX.vhdx –SizeBytes 1TB
After running this mount the .vhdx file and open disk manager and there will be unallocated disk, and then you can click extend disk/volume and its done.
You can refer following article for more information.

RDS (2012 R2, Per User) client issues after moving from TS Licesning (Win 2K3, Per Device)

I run a XenApp environment (mixed Presentation Server 4.5, XA6.5, XA7.6... I know).
I've somewhat recently moved our RDS/TS licensing from an old 2K3 TS licensing vm that needed to go to a 2012 R2 RDS licensing vm.
The 2K3 vm ran with a Per Device mode, and the 2012 R2 vm is using a Per User model.
RDS is working fine as far as I can tell - handing out licenses to their RD Session hosts, in the proper security group which has the ability to Read/Write the MSLicensing user attributes (Terminal Server License Servers). By GPO, I am telling (and they are
applying) my XenApp servers to use their new RDS Licensing server and with a Per User model. The issue I
am seeing is this:
On a give XenApp server, the eventID 1011 - TerminalServicesRemoteConnectionManager
The remote session could not be established from remote desktop client
computername because its temporary license has expired.
When I hit the Details tab,
Windows Server 2003 - Terminal Server Per Device CAL Token.
Which then results in having to remove the MSLicensing registry key. Which is annoying. Anyone else run into this after moving licensing servers and/or models? Feedback would be awesome, danke!

Hi,
According to your description, it sounds like a known issue. The workwgoup is to delete the MSLicensing key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing. (Note: please create a backup of the MSLicensing registry key and its subkeys on the
client before you remove the original key and subkeys.)
For more detailed information, you can refer to the similar thread below:

Moving user profiles from Server 2012 with RDS services to User profile disks Server 2012R2

Hello i have a question about moving my C:\users profiles.
My current settings on the servers are:
AD-Server 2012
SQL-Server 2012
TS- server with RDS roles (RDwebacces, RDs broker, RD session host) 2012
everything about user profiles is now in C:\Users
My new settings for the server will be:
AD-ActiveDirectory - server
SQL-Server
TS1- RDS (RDwebacces, broker, RDS server group management) 2012R2 (I have enabeld userProfileDisks to Filesistem server)
TS2- RDS(Session host) load balance 2012R2
TS3- RDS (Session host) load balance 2012
FileSistem - server ( here i will have on E: partition the new functionality UserProfileDisks) 2012R2
So is there a way to move profiles from TS - C:\Users to FileSistem - E:\UserProfileDisks
I am new to this so any idea wil be helpful.

Hi,
If the UPD is configured on the server which holds existing user profiles, just select the option:
store all user settings and data inside the profile disk.
Since you are moving user profiles between different servers, then user profile contents need to be migrated manually.

Amy
