Locally cached copy of roaming profiles are being created with username.domainname.00x suffix

First off let me give some background as to where we've come from and how we got to where we are today.  In my organazation we initially setup a Win 2k3 domain with roaming profiles.  The roaming profiles worked without a problem for about 6 years.  We migrated to a Windows 2k8 domain (non-2008 native mode) about two years ago.  Profiles have been working fine.  We recently did a rollout of 80% of our client machines with newly leased machines.  Once we did this, the profile issues have been...interesting to say the least.  I've been seeing a couple machines having issues loading their profiles correctly.  The users will complain of not being able to use MS Outlook, or they don't have their proper desktop icons on their desktop.  These erros can present themselves when the user changes their domain acct. password (per our security policey) or it may happen just out of the blue.  The user may be working perfectly fine on Monday, and then log off and on Tuesday when they login to their computer, the user will have these problems.  When this is reported to me, I login the computer that is having the issue and I look at the C:\Documents and Settings folder and I'll see sometimes multiple bogus profiles.  The profiles have a naming convention of %username%.%domainname%.00X .  The .00X will increment up 1 with each bogus profile.  Each of these bogus profiles will have only the local settings folder in them.  In order to fix this problem, we typically delete all the local profiles and let the computer pull the server copy back down.  Can someone please shed some light on this for me.  Thanks. 

I have the exact same issue. All my machines are SP3 as well. I have tried UPHClean and it makes no difference. It's completely random when the username.domain.000 accounts start appearing and accounts become corrupt causing the same issue with outlook or a different set of desktop icons. After almost 3 months of having to reset user profiles (we have 1700 AD accounts and 3 IT guys), here's what I've found to this point.
WINLOGON.EXE is the culprit. UPHClean doesn't appear to work well with SP3 or this particular version of WINLOGON. WINLOGON.EXE is locking (handle) the profile directory itself.
7F8: File  (RW-)   C:\Documents and Settings\(User Directory)
You cannot even run a batch script or something to "restart" winlogon to unlock the folder because it's a system process. When the user logs back in, the pc sees there is already a user profile folder there so it creates a new one with the domain name, rinse and repeat and you get:
Username
Username.Domain
Username.Domain.000
Username.Domain.001
These will go on forever unless you use DELPROF in your GPO as a Computer/Windows/Startup script to remove all "USER ONLY" profiles from the docs and settings folder. This works great other than now, users seem to randomly loose their favorites. This is about the most discussed roaming profile issue on the internet but not a single person nor group of persons has created a 100% working fix for it. It's been a massive headache for me and my guys and I know thousands of other IT guys have or are still struggling with it.
PLEASE Microsoft, fix this winlogon issue so it will release the user profile directory when the user logs out. PLEASE.

  • Local and Roaming profiles not being created

    Hello all,
    I'm in need of help and I wondered if there was anyone out there with some suggestions.
    The problem is that one of our sites has Netware 5 and Zfd3.2 and there are no longer any roaming profiles or local profiles being created. Volatile user is not used. Roaming profiles go to the users home directory. All file rights are fine. DLU is still working. Novell client on W2K workstations is 4.90. All other sites appear to be OK.
    I suspected that the user policy was at fault and so created a test user package and associated a test user to it = same result.
    I have checked from top to bottom and compared all settings to other sites and can see no difference or anything unusual. I've been working on this for 2 days now and I'm going grey and bald.
    Any suggestions anyone?
    I'll buy a pint for anyone with the answer - LOL.
    Thanks in advance

  • TLB STO's created in ECC via cif are being created with Intercompany Markup

    STO's created using TLB in APO when cif'd over to ECC6 get created with an Intercompany Markup.  When created manually in ECC6 using ME21N the markup is not part of the pricing and is correct.  Has anyone had this same situation?

    Abhishek,
    ECC Route is is part of ECC Transportation and Delivery scheduling,
    ( http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/EN/dd/5607e7545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm )
    and is not directly linked to SCM means of transport in standard SCM.  The analogue to Route in SCM is found in shipment scheduling in SCM.  If you wish to link route to alternative Means of Transport, you will need to use an enhancement.
    If you elect to use the more standard 'shipment scheduling' functionality to schedule your STOs instead of an enhancement, you do not need to implement the entire TLB or TPVS, you can pretty much implement just the shipment scheduling functionality.

  • Two user id are being created in BO when user is accessing from Window AD

    Hello Team,
    We are facing a problem in BO XIR3.
    1.     Where  users are login BO through Window AD login.
    2.     When users are login two idu2019s are being created in BO for that user.
    3.      One with the same name and another one with appending 0 at end.
    4.     For example if user  abcd login through window AD in BO there will be two idu2019s are created one is with abcd and another one is abcd0
    5.     Here users are already having access to BO thorugh AD aunthtication, 
                         For ex: User abcd is having access to BO through Win AD, but when he is login then one more id is being created with name abcd0 in BO.even the alias name is same for both of the ID.
                          here abcd is already in system abcd0 is being created in BO
    6     For second created id like abcd0 in BO rights are not given so user is not able to login.
    7.     Here when user abcd is login from AD his alias point to second created id in BO(abcd0) and this second id abcd0 is not having access to Bo so users are not able to access BO.
    Can you please let me know why it is happening, what went wrong and where ????

  • ITunes Says My Contacts Are Being Synced With Microsoft Exchange, But I Don't Have An Exchange Account

    iTunes says my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air, but I do not have an Exchange account, and I have disabled over the air syncing on both my iPhone 4, as well as in iTunes. How do I remedy this? I did a complete Restore on my phone to rectify this, but got the same results.
    I have worked for a couple of hours now; at first, none of my contacts were syncing with Outlook, even though iTunes said they were. Then after checking and unchecking everything I could find relating to syncing, some of my contacts synced. Now I've managed to get them all synced, but still getting this message. I need to make sure that going forward, all changes and updates are correctly synced manually whenever I plug my phone into my computer. Any suggestions?

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts.  I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
    Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
    Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
    How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
    Thanks a lot!

  • Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

    tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
    Explanation:
    Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
    In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
    However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
    The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
    Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

    I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.

    That is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off.

  • Accounts being created with administrative group rights

    Hello,
    The server is a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise fully patched used for Shared Hosting purposes.  It runs Hsphere control panel.  I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening. 
    1) There are users being created with Administrative group rights.   Below is the EventViewer log for the user creation:
    User Account Created:
         New Account Name:    username
         New Domain:    PCNAME
         New Account ID:    PCNAME\username

    There exists entries as well where the primary group ID is changed to the Administrative group, but I am omitting such.
    2) I tried to identify what Caller Logon ID:    (0x0,0x3E7) means.  I found out from here:
     http://blog.joeware.net/2013/01/14/2667/ that I can use LogonSessions.exe to identify it.
    Output from LogonSessions.exe is pasted below (snippet):

    Description: A service account that is used by the operating system
    That is all great info, but I am not sure I can put together what I have learned to attempt and get closer towards identifying how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
    I am a Linux person mostly, but I am comfortable following a properly explained thread regarding windows 2003 R2 Enterprise issues.
    The server is fully patched and it is running Lumension security product.  What's more, Norman Malware tracker, tdskiller.exe (Kaspersky) and McAfee rootkitremover.exe have been run without any apparent Malware/Virus infection
    Hope someone with advanced admin skills can advise.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    You mentioned that, “I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening”, would you please tell us that why did you think the event represent a hacking behavior?
    In a Shared Server Hosting environment, the underlying hosting control panel tool (Hsphere in this case) should be creating only virtual FTP users with a specific group.  So no users with Administrative group should be ever created.  If this happens,
    it constitutes a breach of server security=positive hacking attempt.
    >how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
    In addition, would you please be more specific about this question? Did you find the event message on a domain joined machine?
    I want to be able to understand in full how/what process is allowing users to be created with Admin rights.  In other words, I want to know what IP was used to issue the command, if ASP.net was used (abused in this case), or anything else related to
    it so that we can patch this particular hole.
    Best Regards,
    Amy

  • HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

    Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

    As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
    Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
    However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

  • Roaming Profile are not stored completely

    Hello NG
    In our environment we work with NWClient 2 SP1 IR9, ZCM11 SP1a and Roaming
    profile is activated by a ZCM policy.
    Now we have the problem, that when a user logout from the workstation, the
    roaming profile is not stored completely to the home profile. Strange is,
    that the ntuser.dat has an updated times
    The homedirectory where the roaming profiles should be stored is a NSS
    volume.
    On the workstation evenviewer i saw following interesting information.
    Event ID 1509
    Source \\?\C:\Users\MichelB\Favorites\Links
    Target \\?\UNC\SERVER2$NOCSC$\HOMEL\USERS/MichelB\Windows NT 6.1 Workstation
    Profile.V2\Favorites\Links
    Error The system can not found the path
    Source \\?\C:\Users\MichelB\Favorites
    Target \\?\UNC\SERVER2$NOCSC$\HOMEL\USERS/MichelB\Windows NT 6.1 Workstation
    Profile.V2\Favorites
    Error The system can not found the path
    etc. this happens for all folders in the profile path.
    Then event ID 1534 is diplayed that says there was too many copy errors.....
    And at last the Event ID 1504 that says that the roaming profile couldn't be
    updated completely
    I suppose that here the Novell Client has problems to write to the NSS
    volume
    Somebody can help me to solve this issue?

    This was identified in September when the students returned from break and we have had the issues for nearly 4 months.
    Our machines are built via zen imaging, the client and agent are then installed with the appropriate enabling software for the machine (zoomtext/jaws/dragon/read&write).
    Can anybody give me any pointers on this as my tech support and novell (via a SR) have not yet been able to pin point the problem and provide a fix.

  • How can we reset the SAP cache for users roaming profile in a d?

    Our active directory is on windows server 2003.
    SAP version 6.40
    users work from different workstations in our company with their roaming profile.
    printouts are defined by assigning a printer to the terminal (usually the closest terminal to theprinter)
    we have some users who have logined to windows, are unable to print to the assigned printer, because the name of the terminal is stuck on another terminal they worked on before.
    we think that the the cache in SAP does not update properly.
    Where is the SAP cache, is it in the server, or the workstation, or the user profile?
    Can anyone help?
    Robyn

    all configurations of the printers are correct.
    I will try and explain the problem differently:
    In general If a user logs on to SAP, we will see in tc al08 the username and terminal the user is working from. (The terminal is the full computer name e.g. WS-KITCHEN).
    When a user with the problem logs on to SAP, we will see in tc al08 the username and the name of a terminal he worked from in the past and not the work station he is at present. Therefore his printouts go to the printer that is allocated to the terminal that he worked on before and not the WS-KITCHEN he is working on now.
    Thanks
    Robyn
