Domain User Profiles Unknown??

I have 6 Panasonic Toughpads and when plugged directly into the network they work fine. However, when disconnected from the network, they will only log into the last user account signed in. when I go to user profiles when connected to the network it shows
all the user accounts. When I check user profiles while disconnected from the network it shows all profiles as unknown except for the one account I am logged into and the local account on the computer. if I log off after disconnecting the network and try to
login as someone different it works but if i restart and try to login as someone else it says there are currently no logon servers available, I have to plug into the network sync the profiles and login then again. if i break from the network i cant login as
any other profile until back on the network. Why aren't the profiles saving?

Hi TOLITdept,
We wonder if you are the administrator of your domain.
"Account Unknown" means that the SID the profile has no longer in Active Directory and some applications or services have open handle on the file; or more simply, the user has been deleted from AD. It is by design. In your case obviously the first
reason. After restart these account would need be re-verified by domain controller.
And if you are damain administrator, you also could check if any related group policy has been applied.

"File History" won't open/start for domain user profile/account

I'm trying to use the File History feature in Windows 8.1 to create backups. When I click "File History" from the control panel, nothing happens. No new window opens, it just stays at the Control Page.
I've tried manually going to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\File History".
All works fine with local Administrative user profile.
Why does File History not start/open/run for the domain user account that is in the Administrators Group?

Hi,
Base on my lab machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 DC, Windows 8.1 client). either domain admin user or domain standard user, they all work fine.
What's your environment? Did this issue occur on all domain user or specific one?
In some cases, File History may conflict with the enterprise policies (like retention policy). I suggest you contact your IT admin to see if there is some other policy to limit this.

Publisher 2013 - will not open under DOMAIN user profile.

Publisher 2013 - will not open/launch under a normal user profile. mspub.exe shows in taskmanager then disappears. This is a Windows 7 machine.

Hi,
If we create a new Windows account on the computer and start Publisher with the new account. Does it work?
If so, we maybe consider recreating the user profile of the specified account.
If the issue persists with the new account, please repair the Office program and then try again.

I need help migrating domain user profiles in a refresh scenario using hardlinks.

Hi,
I am trying to create a TS that will capture all of the domain users and their settings from a machine. Then refresh it with a new O/S and restore the data.
I don't want to use a state migration point and I would prefer to save the data to the machine.
I am using a MDT TS with the standard TS steps.
There are two sections to USMT.
Online USMT
Offline USMT
I have set the Online USMT to capture locally by using hardlinks instead of copying files. But I read that this doesn't work unless you set the
OSDStateStorePath variable to a value. In my example I would need that to be a local folder on the machine. Does the folder have to exist on the machine?
There is also a condition that has been set on the Restore User State step.
OSDStateStorePath exists
If any of the conditions are true
Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT exists
Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT3 exists
I would like to get this working.
Thanks

Account unknown in user profiles

On all our domain controllers (server 2003 R2 and 2008) we have found an "account unknown" listed under My computer-properties advance-user profiles-settings. My
concern is that the Account Unknown profiles shows under all our Domain Controllers in the aforementioned place and it shows that that particular profiles is still being access. By being access I mean that the “Modified” date shows that it was
modified just a few days ago, and it changes a couple of days. Also, the option to delete the account is grayed out and I can not find any orphaned profiles under documents and Settings.
What I need to know is if that profile is being use by some system account, or have the servers been compromised.
Any assistance or clarification of this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
A possible cause of the “Account Unknown” profile is that the domain account that the profile is mapped to was deleted but the profile was
not able to be deleted because some applications or services have open handle on the file. That’s also one of the reasons that the option to delete the account is grayed out.
I suggest that you have a look at the subkeys under HKEY_USERS key and check if there is any user has been deleted. The HKEY_USERS key lists all profiles
that are currently loaded on the computer. The PsGetSid utility (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897417.aspx) can help you translate SIDs to their display name.
Meanwhile, you’d better perform a full virus scan to ensure that the computer is not infected by virus.

Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
The settings which I am concerned:
1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement).
The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

Hi,
>>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles

In addition, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Windows 8.1 update 1 - users with domain mandatory profiles cannot open windows 8.1 Store

Hi,
After the update 1 on windows 8.1. All of our domain users get "you cannot access the windows store because you're signed in to this pc using a temporary or guest account......" while opening windows 8.1 store. All my users use mandatory
profiles. Could some one guide me onto:
-how and what changes should I make on my base image of 8.1?
-how/where what changes should I make on the domain in Group policy to make my profiles work?
-I also run sccm 2012 R2 if that makes the things easier I can use it for deploying store apps, but I prefer to make a base windows 8.1 image throw all required apps on it. I would like to make sure that my domain user can open up windows store after
that I can capture this image and deploy.
                              Need help thanks
                              Note: Before this update 1 of windows 8.1 things worked great.

Thanks Kate Li,

Old Domain Name showing in User Profiles

Sharepoint User Profile Sync is showing some users with our Old Domain name (from years ago). This domain name is NOT in our Active Directory. I'm guessing that the profiles that show the old domain name must have been in our Sharepoint
2007 and got ported over when we upgraded to Sharepoint 2010.
This is causing conflicts and some workflows not to work (ones where its looking up a user's profile). And when I look in Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager, there are some users listed with this error: Exception while trying to migrate user "abc\johndoe"
to "xyz\johndoe".. Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The user does not exist or is not unique.......
("abc" being the old domain name...and "xyz" being our current domain name)
I'm wondering what is the best way to get rid of the old domain name in our Sharepoint 2010 user profiles? Should I update them in the User Profile database in SQL?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also, in Central Admin under Health monitoring, we have this message
"People search relevance is not optimized when the Active Directory has errors in the manager reporting structure. In Active Directory, only company leaders should have the 'manager' property set to NULL. As a result of errors, the Active Directory can
incorrectly have the 'manager' property set to NULL for other users that can cause a decrease in people search relevance. By specifying the actual leaders of
the company, these inconsistencies are not taken into account and the relevance problem is corrected.
Remedy
Specify the company leaders explicitly. Use the following PowerShell
commands: $upap = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy [appid]; Add-SPProfileLeader
$upap [Domain]\[UserName]. Run 'Get-SPProfileLeader $upap' to check whether the
leader was successfully added. As a last step, run a full crawl on the content
source containing the start address (URL) of the user profile application.
Not sure if this is related.
Any help would be much appreciated... thanks!

If Mysite Clean Up job is running then this issue should be fixed(removed all old profiles) in couple of User Profile Sync( Full followed by couple of Incremental). Basically, FIMs
responsible to mark the user as deleted within the UPA then CleanUp Job purge these profile.
http://www.harbar.net/archive/2011/02/10/account-deletion-and-sharepoint-2010-user-profile-synchronization.aspx
How many users you are seeing, are they showed in the Profile missing options? if less numbers then you can simply remove the IDs from USer Profile manually.

Use old domain controller AD user profile with new domain (profile changed)

Dear All,
I have built Win Server 2012 for Domain migration from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012. I have tested all thing on VMware including user creation and tested Domain join using power shell for Win 7 and .VBs batch file for Win XP computers all thing
are working fine.
Let 1st I introduce my current environment. I have existing Win Server 2003 domain controller (abc.com) with 130 client computers and 200 users I am going to plan migrate my current environment to Win server 2012 Domain (xyz.com) Keep in mind that Domain
name is changed but Domain Controller (Server) names are same i.e MY-PDC . I have tested domain join on multiple computers using existing clone of client computers and create all existing users using .csv file and power shell with required
credentials and OU.I am facing the user profile issue when I join domain and login with existing user which was previously the user of same computer the required profile does not login and computer creates new user profile in Document and Settings section
of Win XP.
I need your expert opinions because copy old profile data and create new outlook profile for each user is a big headache for any one. Hope you people can understand and help me in this issue.
Please provide best answer and result on priority I will be thankful to all of you.

User Profile Service hangs for unknown reason

Hi,
We have a system where usually around 300+ users are logged in simultaneously. These users are working on +-20 Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Servers. These servers are in a cluster. We have a physical load balancer. We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Connection
Broker. We also have serveral Windows Server 2003 servers, connecting to the same domain controllers, but to a different Farm on the Connection Broker.
Sometimes, and for us it seems like random times, users start complaining they cannot log on to the servers anymore. The server seems to be hanging on the User Profile Service. Users get the message "Please wait for the User Profile Service". This message
will stay untill you give the server a hard reset (power off - power on). If we connect to the service from another computer in the domain, we can see which services are started. We can't see any problems, everything seems to be working fine. We just can't
log on to the server anymore, also not as console. This happens on all our 2008 servers in the farm. If it happens, it is usually to happen on more than 1 server (last week on 7 servers simultaneously). You can imagine how our customers react to this. Users
who are allready logged in to the servers on which the problems occur do not notice anything, untill they try to log out. Then they also get the message. If we shutdown this machine (some work on VMware, some are physical servers) the hard way (power off /
power on) the server can work good for several weeks. Then, out of the blue, the problem might occur again.
We have tried many hotfixes and Windows Updates, we have searched in the DNS system, and disabled the second NIC, but the problem still occurs. We do have mandatory profiles, which are being loaded by the software "Flex Profiles".
I hope somebody here has some good ideas.
Thanks in advantage,
Roy

Hi Chris,
First of all, thanks for your reaction. The problem in your link describes almost the same environment as we have. Except that in our case, whenever the "Please wait for the user profile" turns up, nobody is able to log on to that server anymore until reboot.
In their case, they will be logged on after 60 - 90 seconds. We can't really find an event in the event viewer which seems to be hanging around with the problem.

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!

Move user profile to new domain profile on same computer

If you want to copy data and most of the preferences, I suggest Fab's AutoBackup 6 Pro.
http://www.fpnet.fr/

Hello all
I've been given the tedious task of replacing a server with a new one using a different domain, then rejoining all of the desktops to the new domain.
There won't be any kind of migration, just rejoining desktops to new domain.
Has anyone got any recommendations on what would be the best way to transfer the desktops user profiles from the old domain profile to the new domain profile?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
