Terminal Server Profiles - Not Deleting(No Roaming Profiles)

I am currently not using roaming profiles. I have two Terminal Servers(both 2008R2) and 1 database server. Terminal server A houses the profiles and pulls user settings, desktop etc. In using the broker service, even if I log into to Terminal server B, I
get the profile that was setup on Terminal Server A or in other words, upon logging in the DELETED PROFILE is still being pulled.
So Indeed...
Upon deleting user1 from Terminal Server A and where the profiles are housed, it deletes just fine.
But..
Upon logging back into Terminal Server A or Terminal Server B I get the old profile. Obviously there is a caching problem somewhere.
Can anyone help please?

Assuming you are not running some other profile management product there are a few places a user profile comes from.
If they do not have a roaming profile set, their profile is copied from the hidden directory c:\Users\DEFAULT\
It can be copied from a roaming profile or it can be a mandatory profile.
I would be more inclined to think that on server B, the profile is roaming.
To check do a GPresult on the server or check the setting for the user in the registry. Run Regedit, navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SID\
With SiD = Security Identifyer of the user. You can click ProfileList and Select find to search for the userID and locate the correct SID or you can examine the ProfileImagePath key to find it.
Once you have located the correct SID, look for CentralProfile key under the SID. If you don't find it or it matches the ProfileImagePath, then you are not roaming. If it is something else the profile is roaming.
If that doesn't work, download process monitor -> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx to the server.
Run it as an administrator. Click filter at the top and select filter...
CLick the drop down that says architecture and select User, then in the box after is enter the username as domain\username. You can also clcik the down arrow and select the user if they are logged on.
Have the user logon, delete all the profiles and have them login and you should be able to see what is going on. Once the user is logged on click the magnify glass icon on the toolbar to stop the trace and llok for the section where the profile is being
copied.
You can click Edit and then select find to search for "C:\Users\whatevertheuseridis"

Roaming profiles not working from time to time

We have 6 Terminal servers and at random on the servers and at random with the users, the roaming profile will not be delete after the users log off.
The folder that remains in the user folder, this folder however is empty, not even hidden folders or files are present: C:\Users\"username"\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache
What we have tried is to run a log off script that has following in it "net stop CryptSvc" but this also does not work. We have had 6 users again today that had the problem. All on different servers.
We can manually delete the users folders without any problems when the problem occurs but this is not something that we would like to do every day.
I see a lot of similar problems but nowhere a real solution for this.
Ah the event viewer:
Windows cannot delete the profile directory C:\Users\"username". This error may be caused by files in this directory being used by another program.

All the latest updates have been installed on all the terminal servers. The users are on different servers who have the problems and they aren't always the same users who have the problems so
don't start by asking if everything is configured correctly cause that is the case!

Thank you for your answer.
The entry in that registry key remains indeed there. Is it safe to just remove that registry key when the user is no longer logged into that specific server?
The KB that you have send me is with the following explanation:
Notes
This issue occurs when the Windows Search service is enabled.
When this issue occurs, the registry subkey that represents the stale user profile is deleted. This subkey appears in the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
But we do not have the Windows Search service installed nor is it enabled in the services list? But the subkey does remain in the registry.
With kind regards,
Thijs

Roaming Profiles

First sorry if this is in the wrong folder. I was asked a question today that I don't quite know the answer to. If someone is running a full mac shop from server to client machines and using roaming profiles, do the full roaming profiles actually get downloaded to the client machine every time, or do they stay local to the server as they do in a windows environment. Or is it a preference for the admin to setup as to whether they stay local or push down to the client when a user logs in?

Network home directories stays on the server but you can make it a portable home directory/account that will be copied to the client/user machine the next time you log in from that machine. Any change to that portable account will be copied back to the server (you choose what folders).
You make it a portable account on the client machine (can maybe be setup from/on the server if bound to OD/AD?).

Roaming Profiles on NSS

I do not use DLU, as my users authenticate against synchronized AD
Can Roaming Profile be assigned & how to configure (with user home
directories/profile etc) being on NSS volume
Seb

No, that is not correct.
Roaming Profiles work fine with DLU and Windows 7 and NSS.

Adding roaming profiles

Hello,
We have an existing farm with only one server in it now that is in production. We have two other rdsh servers on the side that we are going to be adding into the farm. Currently we are not using roaming profiles but would like to. I know
you can set the path for remote desktop profiles in user settings in AD or globally in group policy settings fro the rdsh servers. I am trying to figure out the best way to introduce roaming profiles into the current 1 server farm and add the
roaming profiles to the new servers before they are joined to the farm. Can I do it per AD user settings to test things out on a few users and log into all three servers? If I make the change globally I don't want to have problems on the production
server for all users.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
You can specify a Remote Desktop Services-specific profile path and home folder for a user connecting to an RD Session Host server. This profile and home folder will only be used for Remote Desktop Services sessions. You should assign a separate profile for
Remote Desktop Services sessions because many of the common options that are stored in profiles, such as screen savers and animated menu affects, are not desirable when using Remote Desktop Services.
You can manually configure these settings on the Remote Desktop Services Profile tab on the Properties sheet of a user account in the Local Users and Groups snap-in or the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.
You can also use the following Group Policy settings to configure these settings:
- Set RD User Home Directory
- Set path for RD Roaming User Profile
- Use mandatory profiles on the RD Session Host server
The Group Policy settings can be found in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Profiles

Why has Bridge has stored 3.5 GB of data in my roaming profile?

For some reason Adobe Bridge has stored 3.5 GB of data in my roaming profile (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming) which is then copied around the network as I log into different machines.
The data seems to be mainly a cache of images that do not need to be copied around the network especially as they have no relevance to any other machines I log into.
The Adobe support guys tell me that "We do not support roaming profiles, only the standard win users" and have referred me to these forums. If this is correct then the data should be stored in the local profile folder instead (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local).
Is this a setting that I need to change (if so it's a pretty bad default) or is it a bug?
Many thanks,
James.

in Bridge go to Edit->Preferences->Cache and mess around there with the Location folder

Adobe 9.2: "Roaming Profiles" now supported?

Hello,
there where some Threads reporting "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library errors" when using an Adobe 9.x product with roaming profiles.
Adobe stated in the 9.1 readme, that roaming profiles will be supported in the next version.
Are the problems solved and are roaming profiles now supported with 9.2?

Nobody knows?

How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

Ok, if other devices are connecting but just not your MacBook then let's start troubleshooting the MacBook to possibly find out why.
Please try each of the following, in order, until hopefully resolved:
Note the following are excerpts from an OS X Daily article.
* Turn Airport on & off – You can do this via the Airport menu bar or from the Network Preferences. This is the first thing you should try when troubleshooting Mac wireless problems.
* Make sure Wireless/Airport card software & firmware is up to date – This is usually done just by going to the Software Update menu, if there are any updates available for your Mac or Airport, install them.
* Delete and recreate connection – Try deleting and recreating/reestablishing the wireless connection, sometimes a setting can be corrupted and this may fix it.
* Create a new Network Location – Similar to the above suggestion, try creating a new and different wireless network location to see if it resolves the connection problems.
* Change DHCP auto settings to manual – sometimes there is a problem with the DHCP server, and if you manually set an IP address on the network you can be fine. Remember to set the IP to a high number so it wouldn’t interfere with other DHCP machines. As long as you have the subnet mask, router, and DNS settings configured manually as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.
* Flush the DNS cache – Launch the Terminal and enter the following command onto one full line within the Terminal: dscacheutil -flushcache
* Zap the PRAM – Reboot your Mac and hold Command+Option+P+R during restart until you hear another chime, let the Mac boot as usual.
* Delete Wireless Config files – Delete com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist and com.apple.internetconfig.plist files from ~/Library/Preferences and reboot
* Trash your home directories SystemConfiguration – Remove all files within ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and then reboot your Mac.
* Reset your Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC) – For MacBook and MacBook Pro’s: Shutdown the MacBook/Pro, remove the battery, disconnect the power, hold the Power Key for 15 seconds. Replace the battery, reconnect power, and zap the PRAM and wait for 2 chimes before letting the keys go. Let boot as usual.

Roaming Profiles Not Working

Hello, we recent migrated our file server to Server 2012 R2. Everything went smooth until I noticed users' account we're getting their Roaming Profiles when launching a Citrix application/session. They're being logged into the Citrix servers with the
'TEMP' profile. Upong logon, I'm seeing the error below thrown in the App logs of the Citrix server:
Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient
security rights.
DETAIL - Access is denied.
Each user account's 'Profile' and 'Remote Desktop Services Profile' tab are using the same UNC path to their profile folder. I've checked the share permissions of the parent folder which I gave 'Everyone' 'Full Control' and I've checked the security permissions
of the users' folders. Each user has 'Full Control' of their folder. What's a bit stranger is that I also have their account configured to map a drive to the same profile folder which works when they launch an application in Citrix. They can browse the folder,
create sub-folders and files, etc.. So while the error suggests that it could be a permissions issue, the fact they can do all this within the mapped drive contradicts that idea. Also, my Domain Admin account is able to access my roaming profile which would
also suggest a permissions issue, but like I said, I think all the share and security permissions are fine.
Is there anything else that may be affecting why the profiles aren't being copied to the Citrix servers and causing this error? Is there a Local Security Policy setting that would weigh in on this? We do harden these servers so I was wondering if it's something
of that nature?

Hi,
Please refer to the article below to check if you the permissons on the profile folder is configured correctly.

Windows Domain Controller on Windows Server 2012 R2: Hyper-V roaming profiles not loading due to slow connection

I have racked my brain and done everything that I know to do for about two weeks now. I am setting up a new system at our fire department and I am having the worst luck with getting the workstations to login to the domain controller with roaming
profiles. It keeps telling me that the roaming profile could not be loaded because of a slow connection. These are workstations that are connected directly to the switch that the DC is connected to. I have tried multiple connections regarding
the layout (DC into the router, router into the switch). The router is a Cisco RV220W. I have two VLANS, one for public and one for private domain. The Private VLAN has DHCP turned off since I am providing it through the DC. I currently
have a connection from the Private VLAN going to the unmanaged switch that the workstations and server are plugged into.
The server is a Dell PowerEdge R420 that has 6 NIC ports (1 dual port and 1 quad port). I have a virtual switch setup on Hyper-V for an external port (let's say Card 2 Port 3) that is assigned to the WS 2012R2 Domain Controller. The DC can see
the internet fine and the workstations can connect to the shared folders on the server. I can retrieve files by just using the computer name or FQDN. The DC is also running DNS and DHCP. The DNS has the _msdcs setup from when I installed
the active directory role. I have attempted to assign static IP addresses to the workstations:
IP:                     10.0.0.80
Subnet:             255.255.255.0
IPV4 Gateway: 10.0.0.1
IPV4 DNS:        10.0.0.12
I've attempted "append the specific DNS suffix", I've "registered the connection in DNS", I've used "use this connections suffix in DNS registration".
The server is assigned:
IP:                     10.0.0.12
Subnet:             255.255.255.0
IPV4 Gateway: 10.0.0.1
IPV4 DNS:         10.0.0.12
The DNS entries have forwarders that forward to my ISP DNS servers for lookup
I've enabled and disabled DHCP, I've installed a new VM just to create another DC to make sure that I didn't goof up when I created it.
I've lost my patience with this project and am sinking fast. Can someone please offer some advice as to what I've done wrong? I've created this exact scenario at work many times but, I've never done it with Windows Server 2012. Is this
possibly something to do with the Dell PowerEdge server (Generation 12) with the SR-IOV? I am going to attempt to work on it some more tomorrow when I get over there. I think there may be an issue with the SR-IOV not being enabled on the machine
through the Dell Bios. Would the SR-IOV really cause the workstations to report a slow connection? When I login at the domain controller the roaming profiles and folder redirection work fine so, I know the GPO settings are correct. I don't
have "ignore slow connections" or any of those GPO's set. I need to get it working the correct way so, I didn't want to fool the server when there is another underlying problem. Any help that someone can offer, I am more than willing
to listen. If you need more information, please ask.
Thanks,
Jay

So, I've managed to research this some more since Thursday and I've come to the conclusion that Hyper-V does a horrible job of supporting Qualcomm NIC cards. That's the only thing I can conclude as far as where the issue is originating. I've read many
post and walkthroughs but nothing that has helped. The issue wasn't with any settings in the domain controller. The issue was that there really is a slow connection originating at the domain controller that is a VM and has network connectivity through the
virtual switch from Hyper-V. So, next question is, how do I get the DC to have better connectivity through the NIC that Hyper-V won't give it? If hyper-v would allow passthrough, this would be so much simpler. VM-ware is looking really good at this point.
Im disappointed in MS right now.

HT4528 My iPhone 4s would not sync - it kept canceling. I backed it up and did a full system restore. Now it won't restore my apps. It starts on 1 of 51 and then tells me it's canceling sync and it stops. My apps are all black. How do I fix this?

My iPhone 4S kept canceling while syncing. In the Apple support communities, it was recommended that I do a full system restore. I backed the phone up and did the restore. Now it won't finish the restore process. It gets to where it will restore the apps and it says "copying 1 of 51", and then it cancels the sync. I have no apps on the phone - they are all black and they say "waiting". How do I get the apps reloaded on the phone? Do I have to delete them all and redownload them? I'm not even sure that will work. Do I go to Verizon and ask if they can fix it? Any suggestions?

Roaming Profiles not working when Lenovo Hotkey Client Loader is running on Win 8.1 laptops

This issue seems to be Windows 8.1 related. Specifically it is affecting all our X1 Carbon, and T440S laptops running Windows 8.1, but NOT 430S running Windows 7. Basically roaming profiles were creating the proper folder on the file server but the folders were empty. Through trial and error, I narrowed it down to the "Lenovo Hotkey Client Loader" as listed in msconfig or Program Files\Lenovo\HotKey\TPHKLoad.exe. Once that service was disabled, the roaming profiles would copy over properly. I am running the latest and greatest version of "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8.1" Ver 5.25.0000. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Wondering how significant TPHKLoad.exe is? And wondering if we'll see an update to the Features pack to correct this? Hopefully this post can help some others who are looking at empty roaming profile folders.

Hi all,
A
After few months, problem occurred again and i could not install the windows from the scratch over and over again.
I started searching problem online and eventually i found the FIX.
Looks like Registry Entries are getting screwed up somehow.
My "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProvider" was looking exactly as below:
", schannel.dll"
And i made it as below:
"msapsspc.dll,
schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll, credssp.dll"
The solution for the other person in the link ( cannot share link since site does not allow me to ) as a source was only missing "credssp.dll" whereas i was missing everything except "schannel.dll". Strange...
============================
Adding credssp.dll to the list of SecurityProviders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders
fixed it for me.
My full registry entry now reads "msapsspc.dll,
schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll, credssp.dll"
============================

Firefox Error with Roaming Profiles "Could not initialize the application's security component"

Hi there
I get the common error "Could not initialize the application's security component" when I startup Firefox.
I tried this manual: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/couldnt-initialize-applications-security-component
I have enough space left, i have read/edit/write-rights, created a new firefox profile and also reset all the settings, nothing works.
BUT I dont have a cert8.db File in my %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
What can I do?
Like I said in my description, its about Users that are logged in with a Roaming-Profile. Every User has this problems, it doesn't matter if or without Admin-Rights.
Also this problem exists since Firefox 4.0.0, the last working Version was 3.6.13 I guess.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Try to remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox profile folder.
If that didn't help then also rename the cert8.db file to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.<br />
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.<br />
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 25: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

My 2 TB Time Capsule's memory is full because it will not automatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zero backup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and saves the new?

My 2 TB Time Capsule’s memory is full because it will notautomatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zerobackup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and savesthe new?
Neither my local computer consultant nor I have been ableto change any of the settings in Time Machine to correct this problem. Working with the choices in the TimeMachine, there does not appear that there is any way to change the frequency ofthe backups either, so, after a year has elapsed, the time capsule is full, andmy only choice appears to be to erase all the current data on the Time Capsuleand start over, something that I do not want to at all let alone repeat on anannual basis. My questions are:
What can be done to have my Time Capsule delete old filesas it is supposed to do, so it has memory available to allow my computers toback up?
Is this a software problem that can be fixed online or isdoes this require a mechanical fix of defective hardware?

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details.

Not full roaming profile will be written back
