Odd files in the Users profile

Recently I've discovered some stramge folders and I'm not sure of their source.
They are found in the Users>Appdata>Local and LocalLow directories
The folders are named:
EmieBrowserModeList
EmieSiteList
EmieUserList
These folders are all empty.
Not sure what application these are associated with or how to determine that. I don't have these on any other PC , however, I don't have the same applications on all, either. This is why I want to know the assocation.
There are corresponding entries in the registry. I searched the registry and deleted the entries, plus all the directories. They have all returned. They appear to be classified as system files.
Using Win7 64bit
As I said, I don't understand how to find the application these folders are associated with.
As a precaution, in addition to running MS Securtiy Essentials, I ran the Kaspesky TDSSkiller package. The folders remain.
If anyone has any insight, I would be grateful for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Do you use Chrome browser ? Those folders are for Chrome. Should be ok

Anyone tried using LDIF file in the User Profile Synchronization Process?

Microsoft pushied an article recently talking about using LDIF file in the SharePoint's user profile synchronization.
Configure profile synchronization using a Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) file (SharePoint Server 2010) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff959234.aspx
Currently I am unable to obtain the required "Replicate Directory Change" permission set up by the AD admin. So I thought of exploring this alternative since I still have AD search permission right now.
So far, I was able to set up the MOSSLDAP-LDIFMA, and use an import.ldif file to add, remove and update user profiles. However, there are some problems that I can't resolve. One of key problems is, the LDIF-imported records can't be
sync'd with login-based records.
In my environment, when a user login SharePoint via Windows authentication, a new profile would be added, under the account name "domain\username". Meanwhile, when an LDIF record imported, there will be another profile created under the account
name "domain:domain\username", or "domain:username". That is, there would be two profiles for each user.
Based on my understanding, it is very likely the user profile synchronization is based on the user's account name. But in document and sample files provided, I can't find out any clue how to prepare the ldif file so that it will update the
matching records, instead of creating new ones.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone managed to get this to work?
It's nice that Microsoft offers the ability to import user profiles via LDIF into SharePoint, but it is useless if the account name is not correct after the import. I have tried multiple imports from the LDIF to get a user account to show up as "domain\username" but
it always ends up as "domain:domain\username", or "domain:username". or a variation
of these 2 with a colon separating the domain form the username. i see that multiple people have had the same problem, but unfortunetaly can't seem to find a solution. Also I see Bradley mentions that he was able to import accounts using get-QADUser,
but he doesnt mention what the accounts import as or if it resolved the domain colon issue.
Thanks in advance for any help or information anyone can provide.
cheers,

How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another? I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
the start of that tree is /
so, if you were to do:
cd /
(cd means change directory)
it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
cd /Users
will bring you to where all the users are.
to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
ls means list files/directories
so:
cd /Users
ls -la
(the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose)) this flag is very optional.
you will see
fred
user2
for example.
if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
for example:
cd /Users/user2/Desktop
Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
ls -la
you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
cd /
cd Users
cd user2
cd Desktop
this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
/Users/user2
which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
so in your case.
sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
should work
Remember that if you start a path with the character / it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
so
cd /Users/fred
is not the same as
cd Users/fred
unless you were in / already
i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
to simplify, think of it that / means C:\ on windows
you can't go any higher than C:\ (in a way)
if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
pwd
it will tell you where you are.
for example:
cd /
pwd
this shows /
cd Users
pwd
this now shows /Users
cd /System/Library
pwd will show /System/Library
cd /
cd /Users
cd fred
cd Library
pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
ls -la (this shows all the files where you are)
if you see myfile in the list
do a pwd
whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
whatever pwd returned / myfile
I hope that makes sense.

"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:

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

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.

The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded. (while using Vista)

Hello - I'm receiving the error above when trying to logon on to my computer. I've tried some of the fixes on this site and others and none of them seem to work b/c I get to a certain point and I don't have files. Examples are below:
1). I don't have another account with administrator priv (or if I do, I don't know how to get there).
2). Youtube video offers a fix by making registry edits, but with Windows 7 and once he gets to Windows NT file, current version, profile list - I don't have any of those options.
3). Another fix also suggests doing a reg edit, but I don't have the S-1-5 files with the really long numbers - I only have S-1-5 -18 and S-1-5-19.
Any suggestions on fixes within in Vista would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

I have one Admin profile (me) and 1 guest profile (Guest)
I have followed the instructions in Microsoft KB 947215
In step 4 it says to locate the S-1-5 folders, which I have done, find the two matching file numbers and change the .bak/ba extensions. Problem is I have 4 folders and I am not sure which to rename. If I try to add the .ba extension on the file named

"%userprofile%\appdata\local" is counted in the users profile

Hello,
In our environment we see some strange behavior on laptops. Users report that their user profile is becoming too large. We use the user Profile Management tool from Microsoft.(Limit profiles size - proquota.exe @ 100mb)
So “%userprofile%\appdata\local” is counted in the users profile.
After that userprofiles are inconsistant. Users log's on with a TEMP profile or cannot logon anymore.
This seems just a symptom of a underlying problem. We can solve it by giving the user a new userprofile. But we have seen this problem too frequently now.
How is it possible that de default variables %LOCALAPPDATA% en %APPDATA% suddenly are missing. The day before the user has no problem. It mostly happens on laptops after a VPN or WIFI connection. It looks like if the connection is lost before the local user
profile is synchronised to the server profile.
We also see Event 1530 frequently. Can this be a clue?
Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards.
## user registry handles leaked from \Registry\User\S-1###
Is the missing of these variables the cause or effect of a corrupt user profile?
Should we think of leaving roaming profiles for laptops? And look to UE-V or another solution?
Giving the user a new user profile is a workarround but not a solution.
We are using:
We use Windows 7 x86, latest patches, Office 2010.
A Windows 2003 domain functional level
We have an OU in AD wich contains the users and computer in subfolders.
We use Loopback processing for Group policy so the user policy is linked to the client OU and not to the user OU.
We user folder redirection to the homeshare (DFS namespace)
User profiles are on a DFSnamespace but single server.
We user Offline files for the Homeschare.

Peter

Checked Event. There were errors indicating that default profile files cannot be copied to user_name profile.
One of them:
Windows cannot copy file

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 --

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 :)

Report based on the user profile

Hi,
i'm trying to create a report with Oracle Report6i based on the user profile.
I created a form with many Lovs, so that i can choose the parameter to send to the report (using a java script).
I also would like to send the user that's currently logged in, just in order to filter the output.
How can i use the api wwctx_api.get_user in the java script ?
Thanks.

Hi,
It is not possible to use the api directly in javascript. Maybe you pass it as a parameter to a javascript function.

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

Windows 7 very slow logon, Waiting for the User Profile Service, winlogon event 6006

Hello,
Every so often one of our Windows 7 clients which is not normally having any delay at logon will take a very long time to login. This may be 10 or 20 minutes or up to an hour in some cases.
Typically the event log will contain entries like
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> took 572 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).
There is no further information available from Event Log Online Help, nor any additional detail as to why the logon event was so slow. During the delay the user will just see "Waiting for the User Profile Service" on their screen.
We first started seeing this problem with Windows Vista and if anything the situation has not improved since then. It has never happened with any of our Windows XP users.
We are currently planning a migration of computers to Windows 7 but stuff like this which has not been resolved in Windows over a 2 year period will stall that migration. The least improvement is to increase the event notification to give a lot more
information on why the user profile processing has stalled.

Hi,
When did the issue begin to occur? Did it occur after installing certain application or applying certain policy?
To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following step.
1. Restart the machine in Safe Mode with Networking to check whether the system can login quicker.
2. Type “gpedit.msc” in Search box and press Enter. Navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon
Please double click “Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon” policy and disable it.
3. Perform a
Clean Boot to check the result.
Thanks,
Novak
