User Profile getting deleted

What happens when a user profile gets deleted? Does it prevent that user from accessing the sharepoint site or any site he has access to?
One of our users have been moved from one OU to the other and manager got an email about his mysite getting deleted within 14days. I don't care if his mysite gets deleted until he has access to the main site.

No, User Profiles do not impact permissions.

User accounts get deleted automatically

Hi Guys,
there is a very strange problem. I create user accounts in domain but they get deleted after 10-15 minutes. event id 4726 is left in event viewer showing a user is deleted.
any help would be so appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Bahman

Hi,
Once you have completed the above settings.The appropriate events will generate if the user account changes occur including user account deletion. The next step is analyzing the event ids.
Event ids to be analyzed:
4726 - A user account was deleted.
5141 - A directory service object was deleted.
By comparing the these two event ids you can get a complete picture on user account deletion.
Checkout the below links regarding information on event id,

PSFT User profiles getting revoked

Hi,
We used to have the revoke turned ON in our access policies.
But recently, we removed that and upgrade to 9102 BP14. I still notice that the PS user profiles are getting revoked when a OIM user is terminated.
However, users who are created after the access policy change are getting disabled as expected.
I also ran the PurgeCache script after the patch upgrade
Please help
M

- You mean with OIM BP14 you have turned off the Revoke if no Longer applies feature of the Access Policy --- correct
- What do you mean by OIM User is terminated ?? --- when a OIM user is disabled from a PSFT ER recon termination
- users who are created after the AP change are getting disabled as expected, so it means even though the user was removed from the access policy group which had initially provisioned the PSFT account, the account is just disabled and not revoked ---- correct, the PSFT UM user profiles are getting disabled
- but for users who are already in the groups prior to this change, if they are terminated from PSFT and lose their group membership, the PSFT user profiles are still getting revoked.
We want the PSFT user profiles to just be disabled

Why user profile gets corrupted or misbehaved?

Hi,
EBS = 12.0.6, OS= AIX, Single node installation. During last 6 months, some of the users who were using 'FINANCE' modules were complaining about their access.Though they can reach upto the required form, tried to do search response is very slow or sometimes no response. When i created another user with same responsibity and tried to do the same action, it is ok. As a immediate solution, had to disable (end dated) the old user profile and given the new profile. How to diagnoise & resolve such problems? May be it a bug, etc?

Hi,
During last 6 months, some of the users who were using 'FINANCE' modules were complaining about their access.Though they can reach upto the required form, tried to do search response is very slow or sometimes no response. Could you please elaborate more about this?
Did you verify if the debug is enabled at the user level for those users?
When i created another user with same responsibity and tried to do the same action, it is ok. Enable trace on the old users and generate the TKPROF file, this should help in finding out why it takes long time to process their requests.
As a immediate solution, had to disable (end dated) the old user profile and given the new profile. What profile you are referring to?
How to diagnoise & resolve such problems? May be it a bug, etc?Could be though I have not seen any similar issues on MOS website. Did you try to log a SR and confirm this with Oracle support?

User profiles getting changed to "local"

We have users who have had a user policy with DLU active via their OU for years. The policy also specifies that their roaming profile is being stored in their home directory, which it is.
Due to system changes we needed to change the OU policy to a No-DLU one and then associate the DLU policy to individuals. We changed the search policy to look at Object before Container.
Now we are getting reports of users whose local workstation profile has gotten changed from Roaming to Local and the Roaming radio button is grayed out so we can't even change it back.
Ideas on how this happened and how to fix it?

Terminal Server User Profile - Delete Permissions

One frequent problem our help desk encounters is corrupted user profiles on the terminal servers. Today those tickets are escalated to the server team to have the local user and roaming profiles deleted. That team wishes to have this task moved
to the desktop / help desk.
I've built a script to perform this action, but desktop and help desk AD groups do not have sufficient rights on these servers to delete the user profiles. NTFS permission changes will allow them the ability to delete the roaming profiles, but I don't
beleive this would be sufficient to delete the local profiles from the terminal servers (properly).
The script command I'm using to delete the local profiles is:
takeown /f $LPath.FullName /r /d y
I attempted using a service account to run the command within the script but I couldn't find a secure way to nest the password. Can someone point me to the correct permissions needed for a regular user to properly delete a remote user profile?
Thanks!
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
What kind of permission is assigned to your help desk users?
Firstly please check that your help desk users can delete the profile via “System Properties--Advanced tab--User Profiles--Settings button”. By deleting user profiles will delete the corresponding registry entries in addition to the folder under C:\Users
Apart still if you want to check the registry setting, we can verify and delete under below mention path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Here need to find the respective SID for the users and the delete that SID and then again ask users to log back in which will create a new user profile.
Else your help desk user can get the permission for running below script through which they can delete the user profile.
Remove RDS Profiles

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.

Aging out user profiles in Call Manager

If a user profile is deleted in AD what is the length of time before that user is “aged out” / removed from the CUCM and CUC user DB?
Is there a difference between how it works in 4.1 with Cisco Customer Directory Configuration Plug In vs. LDAP Synchronization in later version?
My understanding is that in 4.1 the Plug In extends AD database to Call Manager and it is not embedded in Call Manager as it is in 5.0 and later. Not sure how that plays on removing users from CUCM through synchronization.
Additionally, my understanding is when a user profile is removed from AD, it gets flagged during Synchronization and that could take a minimum of 6 hours after sync for the user profile to be removed in CUCM or whatever the synchronization is scheduled to.

Oli,
It all depends on your sync frequency. If you remove users from AD, CUCM will mark them as "delete pending".
CUCM garbage collector will rip these out 24 hrs later.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_configuration_example09186a0080a57c4c.shtml
Every night at 3.15 am, an internal process called the Garbage Collector service runs. This process permanently deletes any account that has been in the
Inactive – Delete Pending state for over 24 hours. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not sync Active Directory passwords. Cisco Unified Communications Manager has no knowledge of Microsoft Active Directory encryption mechanism. Instead, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.0, a default password of ciscociscoand a default PIN of 12345are assigned.

User Profiles being created and not using existing

I have a Windows Embedded 8 thin client. It will create a user profile when a user logs on and if they log off and log back on it will use the same created profile. However if we restart the thin client and go to log on it will create a completely
new profile for the user. It does this every single time it is restarted and a user logs on. So under the users folder it will have several copies of profiles for that user adding something to it each time. Example: Username, Username.Domain, Username.Domain.000,
Username.Domain.001 We have turned off the netXclean to keep it from removing the user profile at logoff. I have added the C:\Users folder to the write filter exclusion list to make sure it is allowed to write to that location. What would cause
it to not use the exisiting user profile for a user and recreate one only after a restart? It is a soft restart/shutdown we aren't hard powering off as I could see the user profile getting corrupted if that were to happen.

Hi,
It seems like your account log as temporary profile. Please navigate to the registry below and delete the effected profile's subfolder for test.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Here is another thread that have multiple talking about Temporary profile, maybe helpful with your problem.

Windows 7 Themes will not Roam with Roaming User Profiles

Hi,
If I install a theme pack from the Microsoft Personalization website, it will install on the PC I am currently using. However, if I log onto another PC, the theme will not roam. I mean the wallpaper collection, the sounds, the screensaver, and the window
color. I am using a GPO to delete user profile on logoff, and I am using folder redirection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Could you please tell more details about the GPO which was set to delete user profile on logoff? Are we in a domain environment?
Before going further, please run gpresult /v on a command line with the admin rights and then post back the result.
If I understand rightly, the user logged on with a newly created profile every time as there is no user profile settings(deleted every time on logoff) for the user to load.
As the user profile settings is deleted, any changes made are no more available.
Best regards

Lync account getting deleted automatically

Lync account of a particular user is getting deleted automatically every friday. Verified that no automated scripts are running in that time in any of the servers. Logs in AD says the msrtc attributes are stripped by a front end server. Anyone has
any idea whether there would be any maintenance activity in lync which will automatically delete a users lync account? Please help.

Is this happened with different user every time or same user?
Is this user delete from DC or Lync only?
Verify that user isn't lock or disabled. Also verify from Lync cals.

How To Properly Delete a User Profile on Windows 7 in a Domain environment

I have not been able to find an answer that matches the issue I'm facing. I had recently setup a laptop for a user and soon after, he was experiencing issues that I thought might be profile related. So, I did what always worked for me on prior versions of
Windows without any fuss or side affects.
Logged in under the local Administrator account, I went into: System Properties>User Profiles>Settings and removed the user profile from their. When I do that, I get an error message:
Profile Error
Profile not deleted completely. Error - A required privilege is not held by the client
Ok, no problem I think. I just need to delete the user's profile directory under the users folder right? So I do this and figure when I try to log in again as the user that a new profile will be created. However, this is not what happens exactly. I login
with the user credentials and it logs in successfully. However, I get a pop saying:
You have been logged on with a temporary profile
You cannot access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log off. To fix this, log off and try logging on later.
Please see the event log for details or contact your system administrator
So my question is; why did the profile not delete completely after both deleting the user profile under System Properties and after deleting the actual profile directory? What did I miss and what is the proper method of deleting a user profile completely
without running into these other issues?

Hi Womprat,
According to your description, I understand that you want to delete user profile but display an error in Windows 7.
Please use other user (with administrator privileges) login this computer, then open Properties for Computer--->Advanced system setting--->Settings for User Profiles, then select the profile you want to delete.

How do I tell if a user profile is marked for deletion?

This is likely a question with a simple answer, but searching through Google and here hasn't helped.
How do I tell if a user profile has been marked for deletion?
Will it appear in the "Manager User Profiles" area of the User Profile Service Application management?
Do I need to look somewhere else?
This is probably obvious, and I just have looking disease, but your assistance is most appreciated!

As Paul said you can see that on UP admin page. also you can use powershell to get the list of all use in powershell.
Follow this blog:

To find out the list of user profiles marked for deletion using powershell or C# for SharePoint 2010

I have Disabled the MysiteCleanup timer Job and disabled few user profile accounts in AD. Then in SharePoint user profile service, ran the User profile full synchronise job.
I am able to find the marked for deletion records from the table (UserProfile_Full) in SQL server and also in the Manage User profile menu of the central admin under "Profile missing from import"
view. But am not getting these records, If I execute the below powershell command.
$upa = Get-spserviceapplication -name 'User Profile Service Application'
Set-SPProfileServiceApplication $upa -GetNonImportedObjects $true
This command shows only the system account and not the accounts, which are marked for deletion .
Please suggest how to get this result.
Thanks & Regards,

User Profile Pictures not deleting / replacing

Hello,
I have been struggling with this issue for a couple of weeks and think I may need some help. I have a user profile sync application which works fine, it syncs several attributes from AD into SharePoint, it also exports user profile pictures back to
AD for Exchange and Lync to use, this all works fine.
I was asked to replace a picture for a user, which I did using the 'Manage User Profiles' page in Central Admin. I didn't realise there was an issue until I was asked again a week later, it seems the update had not worked. I tried again, and
lo and behold the picture managed to revert back to the old one again.
After a lot of messing around deleting the picture, syncing, adding the new picture, syncing again etc I could not get the new picture to stay, the old one kept coming back. I do not think the issue is related to the sync, but more with SharePoint itself,
here is a symptom I believe is related:-
I delete a user's picture from 'Manage User Profiles', the picture is gone and the user's mysite page shows the placeholder pic.
Looking in the mysites site collection in User%20Photos/Forms/AllItems.aspx the 3 pictures for the user have disappeared. However if I browse to the url of the picture - User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/*username*_SThumb.jpg (or mthumb or lthumb) the
picture appears in my browser.
Next if I add a new picture for the same user through central admin, I then see the new picture in their mysite, I can also see 3 thumbnails of the user's photo under the mysites site collection in User%20Photos/Forms/AllItems.aspx
So far so good, however, if I browse to the url of the picture (including the filename as above) then I am shown the old picture :S
So it appears that the pictures in User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/_w and User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/_t are updating with the new picture, but the pictures in User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/ do not get updated, or even deleted properly when they
are removed.
Hope somebody can shed some light on this as it's really annoying me now! Thanks :)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the replacing picture not work properly in MySite.
I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment(SharePoint server 2013+SP1), it works without any issue.
Did the issue occur for all the users?
To narrow down whether the issue is related to the User Profile service, you can use other accounts to check whether it works.
If that is the case, you can recreate the user profile service application to check whether it works.
If your environment does not install any updates, you can install SP1 or latest update to check whether it works.
You can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
