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
Thanks,

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

Set User Profile Picture with CMD

Can we set the an user profile picture from a shared folder (\\SERVER\UserPictures\%USERNAME%.jpg) via CMD? How to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have been struggling with the same problem for a couple of days now. I thought I had it figured out by creating an "accountpicture-ms" file on my own computer and coping it to
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures and set the value of the file in: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\SourceId" but as it is already stated above that does not do it.
After doing some registry monitoring when clicking on the "accountpicture-ms" file, that does set the profile picture correct, I noticed some activity in a hidden folder named:
C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\S-1-5-21-933334596-4129812972-2891473731-1001
(The last part of this dir should be changed with the unique GUID you got for your user)
In that folder I found 5 versions of my profile pictures in jpg format, that is created when setting the profile pictures.
The Operation does also set 5 Registry Keys here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users\5-21-933334596-4129812972-2891473731-1001\
The keys are:
Image40
Image96
Image200
Image240
Image448
The keys are pointing to the 5 jpg files mentioned above. I have not yet tested if this does the trick, but I will post my script here, if I get it to work..!

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.
Here is the loadstate log:

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.

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.
Please help

Phil

It might be that the default user profile is corrupted. See that: https://helgeklein.com/blog/2013/09/error-message-explained-user-profile-service-failed-logon/

Hi, I have a Indesign user who inherited a PC with Indesign installed. Indesign works with old PC user profile but not the new user. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Hi, I have a Indesign user who inherited a PC with Indesign installed. Indesign works with old PC user profile but not the new user. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Question # 1 is what do you mean by "inherited"? Is this a case where the computer belonged to someone else? Your user would not be entitled to use a program licensed to someone else.

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:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/926abf50-83a0-4e9c-a4cb-4848fcf4f88d/sharepoint-2010-userprofile-title-field-empty?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
If this issue still exists, please create a new User Profile Services Application, and compare the result.

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,
Yoga

What result do you get hen use use type below in powershell

User profile service not updating 'Title' in user information list

Hi,
In our SharePoint farm, following two user profile sync timer jobs are successfully running but not updating the 'Title' in the hidden user information list.
User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization
User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization.
Can someone point me to the right direction? Please note that I don't want to use powershell script shown here to update the 'Title' in the user information list -

Hi,
There are two jobs, User Profile to SharePoint Quick Sync and User Profile to SharePoint Full Sync, that synchronize the User Profile database information with the user information list. Sometimes this stops working (properly) and in that case
you need to run:
Stsadm.exe –o sync –listolddatabases 0
Stsadm.exe –o sync –deleteolddatabases 0
The first command will display all the databases and when they have been sync’d last.
The second command will delete the records corresponding to those databases (it doesn't delete databases/end user data).
Anyways, running this will basically tell the timer jobs that they have never sync’d and force them to carry on as if it’s the first time.
Go to Central Admin and fire off the User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization
job.
For detailed information, refer to the following article:

User profile is not responding properly

So I recently purchased a macbook pro . I also have an iMac (late 2006) running 10.6 and a macbook (late 2008) running 10.5. Both the iMac and macbook have died and I have rebuilt them (died well after warranty). This is in regards to the macbook. My dad wanted to try out the mac os because he is thinking of changing. I set up a new user profile, logged in, removed un-needed items from the dock, added a few items to the dock he did need, and then to be nice I was going to open firefox and set up some of the bookmarks of his that I do know. I got a weird error from firefox, I looked it up, and have it bookmarked to fix. The problem is when I logged out of his account, I logged back in the next day to show him the basics around the desktop and everything was back in the dock. Almost as if no changes occured. So I tried again, moved things around, this time I shut down the macbook, booted it back up, logged in his profile, everything was back to default. To say the least I'm stumped.
To be on the safe side I repaired permissions and verified disk with only minimal repairs and an okay disk. I zapped pram and rebooted the smc. Still nothing new. I deleted that profile, repeated pram and smc, logged into my account, created a brand new account for him, different name and information, different password. Logged in, moved stuff around, logged out, logged back in, everything in default. Since I did have to repair the macbook I thought about trying to boot from disk to repair however the one thing I could not afford when I repaired it was fixing the super drive and never really figured I would need to as I had the iMac and now the macbook pro. My last thought before coming here is to pull the hdd, put it in my external enclosure (set up to swap drives, the iTank, I love it for what I do and for when I bought it), then put the disk in the iMac or the pro and boot from disk to maybe reinstall 10.5. I didn't do that though as I figured I would try to get knowledge from anyone else that might know what is going on without me having to mess with hardware.
Does anyone have anything they can add to this? Is there something I am missing? Am I just cursed by the gods?

Clem
I am glad you have fixed it. To give yourself more protection in the future I advise that you install AppleJack (a hidden disk utility) and Carbon Copy Cloner. Here is some general advice of mine from elsewhere:
Backup all data, especially Home folders, to an external disk or DVD - notes 1, 2
Install AppleJack - free from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack/
Boot holding cmd S until you see text
Do nothing until the text stops
Type: applejack AUTO shutdown
Hit return - note 3
Reboot and test after the Mac has shut down - note 4
Notes:
Better still backup the whole disk with Carbon Copy Cloner from: http://www.bombich.com/
If you have a spare disk or partition it is best to ensure that it is a bootable OS
It can take an hour or more - ignore the many serious looking diagnostics
First boot will take longer than usual as caches are rebuilt
Good luck

WhatsApp Profile Pictures Not showing

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 6 some of my contacts profile pictures are not showing and this is very annoying. Can anyone who knows how to fix this please advise.

For me, what is concerning is, a app which was working absolutely fine suddenly becomes problematic that also after one update!!! Then why the update was necessary??? Look at the app world review. Each and every playbook user is facing the same issue globally with FB app in Playbook?? How is it possible? That means, after releasing the update RIM has not gone through testing for a single time??? Hahaha.. They made a update, they wished to push it, they it. See, Facebook application comes handy lots of time, most of the FB user cannot ignore that. Browsers lags sometime, more over when you want to upload photos and videos driectly from your playbook the app is excellent. And I loved to use Playbook Facebook app.
It is fine that RIM is focused on BB10, besides that they also need to address this kind of issues specifically the Playbook FB app is developed by them only.

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/

Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services - user profile path not working

Trying to setup remote desktop profiles. We have 1 farm with 2 Windows 2008R2 RD session hosts and a broker server and want the all of the remote user profiles to reside on a dedicated profile server. We've created the user shares but when a remote
user logs in their user profiles is automatically created on the session hosts. Each remote users profile path is specified in AD under the user's Remote Desktop Profile tab.
I've seen posts about creating a GPO to handle roaming profiles but I'm not sure as to where this needs to be created...should it be done on each of the session hosts? Are their any step by step instructions out there on how to achieve this that I just haven't
found yet?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you have RD Gateway setup in your environment?
Have you configure RD Connection Broker and set the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the RD Connection Broker server in case of RD Connection Broker mode. In RD Session mode, it is set to the FQDN of the RD Web Access server.
Client operating systems must trust the certificate with which the RemoteApp programs are signed. Suggest to install RDP 8.1 for client OS.
Do you have a trusted certificate with a matching name configured on your RDSH server in RD Session Host Configuration? (Means cert must match the name that clients use to connect to it for running the RemoteApp).
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
