Fresh profile sometimes after login

Hi,
I am running ZCM 10.3.1 on SLES11 64bit with 6GB RAM.
We have the following issue on Windows 7 Workstations.
Policy
DLU
Volatile User (but should only be removed after 15 days).
But sometimes if a user logs in within that timeframe he/she does get a fresh profile.
Note we are not using roaming profiles.
I have even disabled Volatile user, but gives the same behavior.
Usually it is working fine, but sometimes this happens, ZCM is still in a pilot, but this is the only issue preventing us from implementing it company wide.
I have a zmd-messages.log on debug mode from when it occurs and I found this in the log from when it happened:
[DEBUG] [01/17/2011 15:50:14.029] [1752] [ZenworksWindowsService] [4] [pctestuser] [ZMD] [] [User daemon call Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.EnvironmentVariableConfigUserM odule.GetEnvironmentVariable(UserProfile) to session 889446 failed after 0.005 seconds] [] []
Any insight/suggestions?

I suspect it is in the IR5 patch in December.
The specific issue was that UserProfile was not being released on logout
due to a leak that could cause locks to not be released.
This same issue could be caused by alot of different software, including
Windows Active Desktop.
The Client Patch would not fix other software from leaking a handle.
And it's possible you have other different root issues.
But if you are seeing additional profiles being created.
I would check to make sure Client32 has the latest patch and
ActiveDesktop is disabled as they are two known causes.

Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything

Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything. When I click on some icon or in the menu, no happens.
After a long time (more than 1 hour), I decide to switch off my Mac holding the button down and when I boot and log in again, it works normally.
Remark: When I logoff, I do not ask to keep my open programs for the next session.
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 with 4GB Ram.

You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
Please help!

There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011

I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011. It became more serious recently as I think I might have let my battery run out I also tried to download the operating system to reinstall it but it allways stops around 1.4 GB out of 1.7 then the whell starts again.

Keep the MBP attached to the power adapter.
First try SMC and PRAM resets:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Then try to boot the MBP in recovery (OPTION key down) and select the recover partition. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the HDD.

Can't see desktop with blue screen after login

Hi
we have a server 2008 ent SP2 that sometimes when use remote desktop or via vmware console to access this server, after login we got blue screen and can't see desktop. after force reboot it recovery.
From application log, we find some error:

Hi,
In general, event ID 1530 means there are some data in the user profile are still be accessed when the user log
off from the Terminal Server. Please check if any of the data is still remained in the user profile supposed to be deleted. You can use Process Monitor or Process Explorer in order to find the software which is using the data and find the solution. If there
is no such data remained, the Windows have possibly stopped the process and deleted the data when log off. In such a case, you can ignore the Event 1530.
In addition, I recommend running SFC /Scannow from an elevated command prompt and check a dump file for Windows
Explorer under C:\Localdumps.
Besides, you can also download
Autoruns to troubleshooting Explorer issues. Please run Autoruns as Administrator, go to Options menu, Filter, select Hide Microsoft Entries and Ok. After that, open the Explorer tab,
and you will see all DLL that are running inside File Explorer, so start disabling and testing if Explorer crashed.

T40 Keyboard failure after login

What I have: a keyboard that will type my login, and fully function on "guest" login, but will not operate after login for the administrator. When I try to type the keys make a slight "bonk" sound.
Previous to this I downloaded from the Lenovo website a system restore file that included BIOS update.
Think/Vantage Rescue and Recovery versions 4.21.0016
I have hit a brick wall on this. Anybody have a clue?
I would consider reformatting, but the previous owner said he "wiped" the hard drive and installed a fresh copy of XP. If the F11 key appears on start up would that guarantee that I am still able to reformat?
It all began when the internet cable connections were not working well. Now I have bigger problems.

This must be an profile error I have made but I can't resolve this keyboard issue. I am typing on the same TP keyboard now that will not work when I log in on another user profile.
I can type on all login profiles, but I can only type on "guest" keyboard after login. Does that make sense?

Sysadmin/All users are not able to see responsibilities after login in EBSR12

I have followed the all notes from forums/metalinks. but no use.

Hi Hussein,
I came know the issue bcoz of profile change.
on part of iSupport setup on web node, followed metalink DMZ configuration in R12.
After I have changed below profile value, I am not able to see the responsibilities after login as sysadmin on webnode i.e new node B. but I can see responsibilities on node A.
Update Node Trust Level
To change the value of the Node Trust Level profile option value to External for a particular node, perform the following steps:
1.       Login to Oracle E-Bsonapness Suite as sysadmin user sonapng the internal URL
2.       Select the System Administrator Responsibility
3.       Select Profile / System
4.       From the 'Find system profile option Values' window, select the server and get the valie MINE8 into it.
5.       Query for %NODE%TRUST%. You will see a profile option named 'Node Trust Level'. The value for this profile option at the site level will be Normal. Leave this setting unchanged.
6.       Set the value of this profile option to External at the server level. The site level value should remain set to Normal
I need to follow metalink note for configuration DMZ in EBS R12. but I cant see the responsibilities of sysadmin.
fyi...I have cloned web external node by running adcfgclone.pl on node B by enabling web entry and web services only, remaining services are disabled. but as per metalink note, we should enable the Root Services also on node B. is it causing the issue after edit the profile on part of DMZ config in R12.
please let me know how to fix this issue?
I have deadline to finish it....

SAP BPC 10.0 Web Client Blank Screen after login

Hi ALL,
We are using SAP BPC 10.0 Web Client with Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.214 with IE 9.0 on Windows 7.0.
We face strange error where on only on certain PC, the BPC web client working.. On other getting Blank/Blank Screen after login (with "movie not loaded" on the adobe flash player).. Both PCs are having the same setting.
Even one of PC which previously working, starting this week suddenly getting the same error.. I have created OSS message and got feedback with also share this problem on this forum.
I have done several actions as mentioned on several SAP notes )1624267, 1664889, 1681147, 1694871, 1752971, 1798336, 1804221, 1806371, 1811218, 1820505, 1918631, 1968584), but still no luck..
If you have the same issue, kindly share..
Thanks and regards,
Hery

Yes .. Compatibility View also checked.. in several PCs, it is working well. both failed and working PCs have the same setting.
Just found another weird: in one working PC, 2 different windows local-admin users login to the same PC for BPC-web and getting different result (1 Ok ; 1 failed) ..seems it is related with the user profile and login-domain servers (we have multiple login-domain servers with load balancing mechanism).
Thanks and regards,
Hery

Mac Pro 3,1 with Mavericks occasionally locks up before and after login

Hi all,
My early 2008 Mac Pro running OS X 10.9.1 will lock up or freeze sometimes at the login screen and sometimes shortly after login. Only once or twice has it froze up after it was running more than about 15 minutes or so. When it freezes it usually happens within the first 10 minutes of login. I upgraded from 10.8, then clean installed later with the same issue. No beach ball, just a total freeze up with system fans still running but zero activity otherwise.
I have a GTX 285 for Mac installed and i got rid of nVidia's web driver when I did the clean install, same problem.
I moved my other operating systems onto separate internal disks and same problem.
Having a hard time isolating the cause, anyone else having the same issue?

The workaround of refreshing the page still doesn't work for me. I see the tag right after the post is submitted, but after a refresh it disappears forever.

Macbook pro freezes after login

I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15" with a Core i7 2.66GHz processor. Sometime after upgrading to Lion, I started getting the spinning beachball of death just after login. Unlike many posts about freezes on similar MacBook Pros, mine is not freezing before login, but after. I start the machine, login, and then if I try to open any application, the beachball appears and I have to do a hard shutdown with the power button. Then if I restart again, it is usually fine. I was able to fix this problem some time ago by deleting a preference file (plist) for one of my apps (I think), but the problem has surfaced again and I cannot remember how to correct this. Anyone having similar problems, please let me know if you've had any luck fixing it. I am running 10.7.3 (in fact, it seems like the problem may have resurfaced just after the update to 10.7.3, but I'm not sure.)
FYI, I have auto graphics switching off and am still experiencing this problem.

Don't worry about the auto graphics switching. Go to "Users & Groups" in system preferences. Then click on login items and removes all of them. I haven't pinned down exactly which one was causing the problem but I suspect it was one associated with my HP printer. I have verified that Dropbox and Magic Menu from StuffIt are OK to leave in the login items. Just remove what you have there and add them back in one at time (if you can't live without them) until it starts to give you trouble again. Let me know if this helps.

Weird color profile problem after SMC update

Although I've managed to resolve this particular problem, I wonder if anyone has suffered the same thing.
Software update says that I should do the firmware update, so I did that yesterday night. Also, at the same time, I went and removed MS Office 2004 Test Drive (it was taking up space for no good reason). Sometime after doing those things, it seems like OSX had lost the display color profile. The only ones I've got was the Adobe one, Generic RGB and sRGB. The generic RGB washes the screen with a blue tone, and clicking on Calibration would merely have the ColorSync utility complain about the profile isn't there.
Looking at the knowledge base, it says that after the 10.4.8 upgrade, the screen may look bluer than before. The curious thing was that my Macbook reported it running on 10.4.8 when I first got it. But anyways I downloaded 10.4.7's LCD profile, and put it at the location specified in that knowledge base. Display preference still didn't pick up on the profile, so I end up restarting the machine, and now it seems to be using a profile called "Color LCD".
I'm wondering if anyone else have experienced something like this, and going to document this here as a possible solution if someone is lost after a random deletion of a color profile....
Macbook 13" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had something similar happen when I upgraded to 10.4.8. In fixing the blue tint problem, I loaded a backup copy of the Color LCD profile. Subsequently, under exact circumstances I don't remember, the machine "lost" the profile. And the calibration option would just give an error.
So somehow, after further fiddling, I ended up with two copies of Color LCD profile, one the old 10.4.7 one, one the 10.4.8 one. I haven't had the problem of it losing the profile again.
But I might mention that there is a related problem which you may encounter. If I use fast user switching with another account and return to my (admin) account, the blue tint returns. The workaround is as described in this article:

I have created an alias to the DMProxy application as described in the above article, and have to run it after every time I use fast user switching.

Problems after login

My Mac started doing this a few weeks ago, where after login it all kind of collapses. Sometimes the desktop icons won't show up, or Hear (which runs on startup) will get stuck loading for a long time. Sometimes everything seems fine but no programs will launch, or the dock won't respond.
So far I've done an Onyx cleanup run, a Disk Verify and Repair, Permissions Verify and Repair and even did the good old Command+R on startup and reinstalled Lion. It worked the first time and then it went back to its old antics.
Any ideas? I'm afraid if its a corrupted file and even if I get a new Mac (this one has gone through all kinds of things, including getting catapulted out of my backpack into the street in Hungary) then when I restore from Time Machine it'll carry over.
Thanks

If a new user solved the issue, then you either have too many apps starting up at login and/or at least one which puts problems. In order to see what you have there go to system preferences/users and groups/you/login items, you must have a short list, as attached.
If not too many here, then you may have a corrupt system.
