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!

Unable to start User Profile Sync Service

Hi,
I am currently facing some issues with starting the User Profile Sync Service on my SP2013 farm.. I was wondering if someone could help me out a bit.
I have successfully installed the SP2013 farm on a environment that has access to our AD etc. and I have also
restored the database from SP2007 and converted it to Claims authentication etc. The one thing I can’t get to work is to enable the User Profile Sync Service on the server. I have checked quite a bit of TechNet blogs and other sites and tried almost everything
suggested but it still fails. I’ve also recreated the farm from scratch yesterday again but no luck still
L.
The below is what I have done:
Farm Admin account – spadmin2013 is local admin on all SP Farm servers (2 WFE and 2 APP Servers) and has log on locally rights as well on security policy. On the SQL DB it has dbo permissions on the Sync, Profile and Social DB’s.
Farm Service account – spservice-s is a managed farm account that is used to run the various services of the farm (used during the config wizard part).
From within the Admin Control Panel I have verified the managed accounts and it is indeed spadmin2013 which owns the User Profile Sync Service (not the application itself). When I try to start the service it tries to do that for 5-10 minutes and then fails
and goes back to stop and I do not see any error. I have created a custom service application with new database that runs on spadmin2013/spfarm/ldap accounts etc. I can see from the Windows services – FIM and FIMSync service try to start using the spadmin2013
and then go back to disabled. I have also tried giving the spadmin2013 rights to replicate the AD as few blogs suggested that. I am not sure where this is going wrong or what is missing. I had successfully got this to work and still can get it to work on my
first SP2013 server which is a standalone – running SQL, SP app and WFE on the same box.
In fact I also tried to activate this service first before I joined my 3 other servers to the farm and had no luck. I am kinda lost here as to what is going on!

Right. i ran a new log as suggested. I have also cleared the config cache and created a Powershell profile as suggested in this link - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bryanbolling/archive/2014/01/02/unable-to-start-user-profile-synchronization-service.aspx
I checked the ULS Logs and i can see the below error -

User profile synchronization service wont start after SharePoint Service pack SP2

Hi
-Using SharePoint 2010 with 1 appserver and 2 frontend webservers on Service Pack2. (ms server 2008r2, SQLServer2008r2).
-Farmaccount has been set to local admin on all sp servers.
-Firstly, the User Profile Service Application runs fine and is started. Dont mix it with the User profile synchronization Service.
Prior to installing SP2 User profile service application and user profile synchronization service were running fine.
The first thing I did after the installation of SP2 was running the:
-psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait
As SharePoint setup user (spadmin).
This ran fine on the 2 front end web servers.
However i got one fault on the Appserver:
I have also tried:
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures
which led to same resulting error.
So I tried to start the Use profile synchronization service as suggested manually by logging on with the Farmaccount, starting the user profile synchronization service through Central Administration. This led to Stuck on Starting status.
The windows services Forefront had status starting, then stopped.
One question:
Prior to starting the User profile synchronization service through Central Administration. What account and startup status should the 2 Forefront Windows Services have? (Automatic and local system?) or (Automatic and Farmaccount?) or (Disabled and Local
system?) or (Disabled and farmaccount?). Because i know that SharePoint UPA will provision these services though Central Administration. However what is the default state prior to starting the Synchronization service?
So i continue...
Since it was stuck on starting i stopped it with:
stop-SPServiceInstance -identity <upaSyncguid>
which gave me:
Stop-SPServiceInstance : An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administrat
ion.SPServiceInstanceJobDefinition named "job-service-instance-36bdf2ef-58f2-45
e5-8f78-ab75f646611a" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Admi
nistration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4". Rename your object or delete the
and i could fix with:
#Stop the stopping:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ProfileSynchronizationService, Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles,
Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" -servicename FIMSynchronizationService
I also removed the forefront certificate from personal - certificate store, as this is provisioned when user profile synchronization service is provisioned.
That set the Central Administration Status on the User profile synchronization Service to disabled. Fine.
Everytime i tried to start the user profile synchronization service (logged on as farmaccount), left it for 10-15 min and did iisreset and restart sharepoint timer service, and also tried rebooting the appserver. No change.
A thought, is it important to restart timer service and do iisreset on the two frontend servers after trying to start the user profile synchronization service on the appserver?
I'm getting to the point were i just want to delete the whole service application and set it up anew...
any tips will be greatly appreaciated.

You're very welcome, hope it helped, if not the I suggest you clear the configuration cache as follows.
The config cache is where config settings are stored locally on the Microsoft SharePoint server, so a SQL call isn’t required.
To clear the cache:
Stop the SP Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Stop.
Close the Services console.
On the computer that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and on which the Central Administration site is hosted, click
Start, click Run, type explorer, and then press ENTER.
In Windows Explorer, locate and then double-click the following folder:
%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\GUID
Notes
The %SystemDrive% system variable specifies the letter of the drive on which Windows is installed. By default, Windows is installed on drive C.
The GUID placeholder specifies the GUID folder. There may be more than one of these.
The ProgramData folder may be hidden. To view the hidden folder, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
In the Advanced settings list, click Show hidden files and folders under
Hidden files and folders, and then click OK.
You can also simply type this directly in the path if you do not want to show hidden files and folders.
Back up the Cache.ini file. (Make a copy of it. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE, Only the XML files in the next step)
Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder (DO NOTE DELETE THE FOLDER). Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folders content is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt.
Note When you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder, make sure that you
do NOT delete the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
Double-click the Cache.ini file.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
Type 1, and then click Save on the
File menu. (Basically when you are done, the only text in the config.ini file should be the number 1)
On the File menu, click Exit.
Start the Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer, and then click Start.
Close the Services console.
Note The file system cache is re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this procedure on all servers in the server farm.
Make sure that the Cache.ini file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure that the value of the Cache.ini file is not 1.
Check in the GUID folder to make sure that the xml files are repopulating. This may take a bit of time.

How to start user profile synchronization services

Hi i am not able to start "user profile synchronization service"
When i click on Start user profile, it will show starting, after few minutes again it will stop.
How to resolve this

Check permission of service account used for the user profile/sync service application.

Since upgrading to Lion, my time machine backups are failing - error message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska's MacBook.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1). Any ideas?

Since upgrading my Macbook to Lion, the time machine backups are failing - error message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska’s MacBook.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)." I have rebooted the TIme Capsule and it worked OK, but don't want to do that every time. Any suggestions? Thanks

Any new info on this?
I had the exact same problem and went crazy and spent a hecka lot of time trying to deal with my brand new 2TB Time Capsule and almost brand new MacBook Pro. Then I thought I fixed it...and I tried SO MANY things, I don't really know what did it...except taking out any apostrophe's in names of stuff that Apple puts in there...BUT...now it's back.

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

Have you checked the logged files in event viewer around the time when problem occurred?
Is there any suspicious events like error or warning related to this issue.

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

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.

Access RemoteApp error: The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in

I have couple of users in MYAPPS group that is a part of Collection.
Only me (domain admin) and other domain member user can access the app from RDWEB.
When an other domain admin and an another domain user try to access the app (from different machines) they get:
"Access RemoteApp error: The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in"
RDS is Server 2012 R2 clients W7, W8.
I found all kind of troubleshooting for Vista and W7 non RDS scenario.
What it could be? A bit confusing... one admin Yes another no. The same for regular domain member
1. users can login to RD Web (https:../rdweb) . The published app appears
2. When clicking on the app icon the screen below appears

Checked Event. There were errors indicating that default profile files cannot be copied to user_name profile.
One of them:
Windows cannot copy file
\\?\C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3\08 - Power Options.lnk to location
\\?\C:\Users\blue\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3\08 - Power Options.lnk. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.
DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
After doing more research I found a suggestion that actually fixed the problem instantly:
-- We also see this problem. You should try to uninstall KB2919355 --
Other people experience the same problem with RDS 2012.
Here is the discussion:
http://serverfault.com/questions/590651/copying-default-profile-for-new-users-fails-with-the-process-cannot-access-the
I did check KB2919355. It looks like pretty important...
All future security and nonsecurity updates for W8.1 and 2012 R2 require this update to be installed...
So how to deal with this thing?
May be somebody from Microsoft will see this post and can suggest other workaround instead of removing the important patch.
Thanks Jay for pushing me to check Event :)

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 sign-in. WinCE - RDS 2012R2.

Hi,
We have a lot of HP thin clients with WinCE. I read about security and license issues which prevent to connect old OS/RDP clients to RDS 2012R2. I fixed them all. However we got a random problem from time to time: users faced with error like "The User
Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded." If user reconnects immediately, he can got the error again or can log-in normally. I noted that if screen blinks while remote profile loading, user got this error.
Two scenarios:
1. Click on RDP shortcut on thin client -> enter credentials -> profile loading -> %GREAT RANDOM% -> normal log-in.
2. Click on RDP shortcut on thin client -> enter credentials -> profile loading -> %GREAT RANDOM% -> screen blinking -> error.
Actions if error:
1. Reconnect -> Error -> Reconnect -> Error -> Reconnect -> OK.
2. If reconnect doesn't help, user has to reboot thin client and try again.
I checked that it's not an issue of the special server. I also checked that there are no bad profiles on servers or bad registry entries. User can keep trying to connect and finally enter to it's session on THIS TS server (I tried to close entrance to all
servers excluding one and tested). Usual PCs (win7/win8) don't have any problems to log-in.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Amy,
Thank you for your answer! I disabled “Do
not log users on with temporary profiles” and also disabled anti-virus. Nothing changed. :( Users
still get that error.
Thank you!

Windows 8 "The user Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded."

Hello All,
OK here is what i'm trying to figure out. First off i am new to my company and still trying to learn the in and outs but have already been thrown into the lions cage by myself. I inherited a network that is run on Windows Server 2008 R2. The domain consists
of XP,Windows 7 and Windows 8 machines. Here is the issue i am facing.
Every once in a while (usually after a few hours of inactivity) when a user goes to log into the machine they receive an error stating "The user Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded.". However
this only happens to the windows 8 machines and like i mentioned earlier it usually happens after a brief inactivity period. Now restarting the machine always works(100% of the time) but this super annoying. I have also completely restarted the server just
to find out the problem resurfaced later that day.
Any idea on how to fix this issue? Like i mentioned this only happens to the Windows 8 machines. Is there something i should do on my server to prevent this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

"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

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:

(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)
