User profile images not persisting after log off on Server 2012 R2 RDS Session Hosts

Hi,
We have a 2012 R2 remote desktop deployment, with two session collections, a gateway server, and connection broker.
We have set these session collections to use centralised user profile disks.
What I am having an issue with, is that when a user sets their profile image through the server they have logged on to (I have the desktop experience pack installed so they are able to do this), they can see the user tile has been set with that image in
settings and also on the start menu, but as soon as they log off the server and back on, their profile image has been reset to the default blank image.
I have checked all of my group policy options, and cannot find any settings that could be impacting this.
Does anyone have any ideas why these images are not persisting for users or admins?
Thanks, Eds

Please check that the user is not getting a temporary profile each time he logs in. Also, make sure that the RDP client is properly configured to display the Wallpaper: http://www.webapper.com/blog/index.php/2007/10/18/enabling-desktop-wallpaper-on-remote-desktop-terminal-services/

  • Netboot user profiles are not persitent after reboot

    Hello,
    we are migrated our environment to Mountain Lion Server and Netboot Clients also with Mountain Lion. User profiles are located on the Server.
    If Users change some profile settings like default browser or standart application for opening files, these settings are persistent until the user reboot the machine. After that, all settings reverted to default. User permissions looks like it should. Also if some settings would be changed inside Safari proberties like search machine or startup page, these settings will be stay after the reboot. :-( Some other not.
    Any sugestions where i have to look?
    Thanks and regards.
    Joris

    Hey Brian,
    we use Netboot ... yes but every User which is log in to the netboot client get an own Network Home Directory mapped.
    I know that changes on the OS not stay persistant inside the Netboot OS. But changes on the UserProfiles, like default Browser or somthing else, are also reseted after the reboot. I think they should saved in the UserProfiles and stay persistant if the user log in again after the reboot?

  • Firefox will not open after logging off. Will only work if I reboot computer.

    Firefox always opens after booting up my computer in the morning. However, if I log off of Firefox and attempt to open it again it will not open without rebooting the computer first.

    Use the [[profiles|Profile Manager]] to create a new profile. If the problem goes away, you can then [[Recovering important data from an old profile|move]] your bookmarks and other important settings into the new profile.

    I had rebooted days ago... I have rebooted a couple of times today before posting here... Didn't help...
    I found a procedure on another link that looked like it would reset the syncronization database, but that doesn't appear to have worked out any better. The procedure was a follows:
    $syncDBType = "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.SynchronizationDatabase"
    $upaSAType = "User Profile Service Application"
    $syncDB = Get-SPDatabase | where-object {$_.Type -eq $syncDBType}
    $upa = Get-SPServiceApplication | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq $upaSAType}
    $syncDB.Unprovision()
    $syncDB.Status = "Offline"
    $upa.ResetSynchronizationMachine()
    $upa.ResetSynchronizationDatabase() 
    $syncDB.Provision() 
    restart-service SPTimerV4 
    This appears to have completely reset the syncronization database to the point where I don't even see tables and views any more in that database. That sounded good, but the "User Profile Synchronization Service" wont start and it doesn't appear to be able
    to provision the database. I am trying to start the service using the farm account and I know the password is good...

  • The user profile service: Service failed the log on. User profile can not be loaded.

    I am running a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain. with 2 domain controllers.
    Every new account created in active directory does not seem to work. Even if the account it copied from one that does still work, it still gives the same error when logging in on a network computer (windows 7). "The user profile service: Service failed
    the log on. User profile can not be loaded."
    I have looked at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215, which unfortunately does not help. Especially since the SID is not there because the user has not managed to log on yet.
    The
    "Do not logon users with temporary profiles" Group Policy setting is not configured.
    And I have tried force replication too.
    I have exhausted all my knowledge.

  • Server 2012 R2 RDS – cannot log off user session

    We have a 2 server RDS RemoteApp Farm.
    One server is constantly leaving user sessions in a disconnected state without the ability to kill the session (rebooting is the only way); this is happing 1-2 times per week.
    Servers have been configured to kill a disconnected session after 10 minutes, but some disconnected sessions have been running for days.
    Below is a screenshot of the process running for two disconnected users sessions that I could not disconnect, rebooting the server was the only way of fixing this. No error's were generated when users disconnected the session.
    Is there a known fix for this?

    Hi,
    Did you apply session disconnected policy setting in your environment?
    There are different ways for getting user log off. As you have commented that it’s happening with specific user, once check whether the user profile is not corrupted or any other related case. Also it might relates that some application or related services
    is still running under user profile so that session cannot be logged off. You can also try PowerShell command to log off the user. Also with
    Query user command you can find the related session name and ID and then with “Logoff user command” you can logoff the specific user. 
    For policy related to session setting you can check beneath article. (point 1)

    Hope it helps!

  • 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

    Have you checked the logged files in event viewer around the time when problem occurred?
    Is there any suspicious events like error or warning related to this issue.

  • Hold Data after logging off

    How do I Hold Data after logging off and back on again.
    The data that I hold works fine when originally set in the user profile but once the user logs off and back on again the data resets
    any quick fix's that anybody knows about?
    This data will be entered on a service order if this makes any difference,
    Thanks

  • OSD - MDT 2013 - USMT Scan/LoadState Runs Successfully but user profiles are not restored.

    I have this odd issue that I can't seem to figure out. I have an MDT Task Sequence that I created runs scanstate and loadstate without any issues using hard link. Unfortunately, the user profiles are not loaded/restored after loadstate runs. I can go to
    the StateStore folder and manually run the loadstate again or use the Windows Easy transfer to restore the users, but I want this to occur when loadstate runs.

    I've got this to work although I haven't figured out the root cause.
    My initial OSDMigrateAdditionalCaptureOptions were: /Hardlink /nocompress /uel:30 /config:%_SMSTSMDataPath%\Packages\%_OSDMigrateUsmtPackageID%\%Processor_Architecture%\config.xml"
    My OSDMigrateRestoreCaptureOptions were:  /Hardlink /nocompress /ue:*\* /ui:domain.local\*
    Since the restore was failing, I removed the domain name from the ui switch which magically caused the restore process to load the user profiles to the computer.
    My final OSDMigrateRestoreCapptureOptions which worked: /Hardlink /nocompress /ue:%computername%.
    Just to note /hardlink commands are not necessary when you are using MDT task sequence, but I put it in anyway and it seems ensure that I get consistent results.

  • 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

  • User Profile Synchronization not displaying Title field correctly

    Hello,
    I've an issue with User Profile Synchronization (SP 2010). The Title field is displaying correctly for most of the users but still there are few user for them the Title field is blank. However in "User Information List" it displays the Title field
    properly for those users. But in Central Administration when I check the User Profiles it's blank.I have already run Full Profile Synchronization few times in Central Administrations. Every time it's shows as successful but still no luck, still the Title field
    is blank for some profiles.
    Can anybody help on this? Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    Firstly , I need to verify the followings:
    Whether the title field of user information list is changed if you type a value in user profile page and perform full sync.
    Whether you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010.
    If you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010, you need to make sure the user information list is mapped or connected to AD directly. More information, please refer to the post below:

    If this issue still exists, please create a new User Profile Services Application, and compare the result.

  • Resizing User Profile Disks in Existing Server 2012 R2 RDS Deployment Question

    Once the initial maximum size is set and the VHDXs have been created in a Server 2012 R2 RDS deployment, will attempting to increase Collection's maximum UPD size by say.. issuing a Powershell command of:
    Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName MySpiffyNewCollection -MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 10
    over-write the existing VHDXs instead of simply increasing their size? (max size is currently 5GB)
    I'm not at a point where I can test this in a lab condition to find out, and I have not found this question asked (or at least not definitively answered) in this forum yet.
    -G

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    We can resize the UPD file with below command:
    Resize-VHD –Path c:\BaseVHDX.vhdx –SizeBytes 1TB
    After running this mount the .vhdx file and open disk manager and there will be unallocated disk, and then you can click extend disk/volume and its done.

    I'm looking at Family Safety Feature in Windows 8 and like what they can do.  I have a request to monitor, track users who log into Windows Server 2012 R2 to see how many users login, how long each login is for each user so a monthly report can be generated.  
    1.  I just wonder if Windows Essential 2012 can be used for this purpose or not.  If it can, is Windows Essential 2012 a feature can be added or installed on Windows Server 2012 R2?
    2.  If Window Essential 2012 cannot be used for this purpose, is there any feature in Windows Server 2012 R2 that can be used for this purpose?
    3.  Is there any other suggestions?
    Thank you for your help.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Hien,
    Anything updates?
    It seems that there is no feature can do that. I agree with Tim that you can check the event logs. In general, the event 4624 would be created when a user was logged on, and the event 4634 would be created when a user account was logged
    off.
