Windows 7 Fails to Logon [More in description]

Hello IT Professional,
So after turning my computer back on this morning a screen popped up saying "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.". I thought
to myself that this was no big issue, but then after multiple attempts Windows had failed to find a solution to my issue. I tried to restore it to a previous day in which it was still working, but I had only one option available. After restoring Windows with
the only restore point the problem still persists. To explain the problem a little better... Windows starts to power up, and it shows the Windows logo. Everything is going as normal; I can see the mouse and the black screen right before my desktop appears.
Then my screen very quickly flashed a blue and yellow color and restarts my computer. I have tried to restart in safemode, but the same thing happens. I have managed to burn Ubuntu to a disk and launch that after I changed to order of the Windows startup to
having the CDROM go before the hard disk. I have just managed to backup all my files. Any help would be much appreciated. If you need me to explain anything better just ask, I understand I can be confusing sometimes :).
Regards,
Noah Gerhard
P.S. My computer is custom built if that helps

Hi,
Besides S.Sengupta's suggestion, we also could try the Last Known Good Configuration to start Windows:
When starting the PC using the Last Known Good Configuration, your computer starts with the conficuration
from the last time your PC booted successfully. To do this, follow these steps:
1.Click the Start button, then click the arrow next to Shut Down, then click Restart.
2.As your computer starts, press and hold the F8 button. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by shutting down and restarting your computer.
3.On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration (advanced), and then press Enter. Windows will start normally.

Home Premium cannot logon to a Domain, nor can it be set to try it.
when you get the logon window, try hitting the three-finger salute )Ctrl+Alt+Del) twice – it may bring up the old-style login window – enter your credentials there.

Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings - the data was invald (event ID: 1085)

Hi All,
I have a large domain and a long list of websites that are trusted using the following group policy setting:
Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer> Internet Control Panel > Security Page >
Site to Zone Assignment List
On all (XP/vista/win7) workstations across the domain I'm getting the following error:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Event ID: 1085
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Description: Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings. Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings might have its own log file.
There's nothing either side of this error in the log that shines any more light on the issue.
I know which group policy object its applying these settings but cant find which of the entries in the site to zone assignment list is causing this issue. I looked in the
Group Policy/Operational log but all I see is the following entry which says "completed" but is logged as an error:
After some research I'm guessing that the issue is an incorrect wild-card. This is what my trusted sites list looks like (with names removed of course):
http://servername.*
*.internaldomain.com.au
*.domain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.externaldomain.com
*.domain.inernaldomain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.domain/name.*
*.domain.inernaldomain.au*
*.domain.com
Is there something obviously incorrect here?
Does anyone know where I could find an article that clearly outlines the acceptable wildcard syntax for the
"Security page\ site to zone assignment list" group policy? Ive read every forum post, website and blog I could find on the internet but nothing is clear and I wasn't able to find an MS document that steps it out. I've also changed the
existing list a number of times based on blog posts etc but had no luck.
**Please Note**
I dont want to change to a different method or have an intellectual debate re why I would have these sites/wildacrd/policy set. I'm really looking to see what entry is invalid and where the documentation is for this policy setting so i can make sure they are
always correct in the future.
thanks in advance for your time and assistance

UPDATE:
I disabled the original policy and created a new one with only one trusted site address in it. Then I logged into a clean test machine did some testing.What I found after a few hours of testing was; regardless of the site that I have listed in group policy
The HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Current version\Internet Settings\Zone Map Key registry entry is
always updated with that entry on the workstation. So the workstation's registry always updates the key with
*.sitename.com per the site that I have set in GP
If I run GPUPDATE /FORCE over and over again, on the same machine, under the same user account, using the same DC I get:
Failure, Failure, Failure, Success, Success, Success, Failure etc
I wasn't able to determine any pattern to the failures, I tried stopping some of the processes on that machine but didn't find anything that would make it fail/succeed reliably.
There is no AV or firewalls installed on my test machine
Anyone have any more ideas? I think I might install filemon and try to capture some more data unless there's a better tool?

Yes, and that's straight from my Microsoft TAM. As long as you include an asterisk inside those site-to-zone mappings, you'll continue to see them. The key is whether or not they're working. In my environment, I've seen complete success using the
http://*.domain.com, or
https://*.domain.com, no matter if the site is http://www.domain.com or
http://milk.does.a.body.good.domain.com. Despite the success, we continue to see the errors. It's much the same as Group Policy Preferences where you can apply a setting once, or repeatedly. If you apply
something repeatedly and it's already set, lookout for some complaints in the application log. It really is annoying. There's potential to play with the logging levels, but I'll admit that my experience ranks as "novice" in this specific section of group policy.
This link might get the creative juices flowing:

I see you've already read a number of articles including "a test case for troubleshooting those event IDs"... I sympathize with your efforts. I despise warnings and errors that I can't solve or don't want to see, but I've researched a number of them to death
and found that many are simply "normal". Uggg... I hope this helps, but please take my advice, as with anyone else's out here, with caution. I've seen some crazy recommendations. I saw a recommendation to install SQL on a DHCP server to get failover clustering

Windows failed to publish property printBinNames - error 8007200d

Just like this old post (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c9a445e2-b28f-4e57-bfef-c1a2f89b8cd6/printers-not-being-published-in-active-directory) I'm noticing some issues with printers being published to AD.   However
the error code I'm seeing is 8007200d.

An example of the event which only has fired for this specific printer. It
IS published in AD however and can be found with the Find Network Printer wizard.   It's been on this print server for well over a year too.

Why then would Windows through EventID 322? printBinNames doesnt exist to conflict with per the error code thrown.
Even more odd is that I believe this error was preventing another newly crated printer from being published.   A new printer was created on the PrintServer. But the printer would now show up in the Find network printer wizard. Right at the
same time I added this new printer, the Event ID 322 for the unrelated printer (AA-BB-4SE-COLOR-FXLSR) was logged. Odd.
I then unpublished and republished the AA-BB-4SE-COLOR-FXLSR printer. Windows logged both success and the same failure! Also interesting is the published name it used is different

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

               3 Dir(s) 33,354,055,680 bytes free
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:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/asiatech/archive/2014/01/30/new-user-gets-event-1509-after-deploying-ie9-10-11-packaged-by-ieak.aspx
(my advice to you, is to dive into the event log with eventvwr, and look for an event similar to 1509, which should point you in the right direction for your particular situation)

Error Message when logging on "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied"

Since the move to Windows 7 we have started getting this error above when people login at random times and on random machines, at first we thought it was only a select few users, but now it seems to have occurred to about 20 different Staff members working
at the school. Also of those 20 odd users it has happened to them on a few occasions.
What we know
We know this problem is only occurring to staff with Roaming Profiles, it seems like somehow the profile is not Synchronizing with the Servers File Share that houses the profiles, which causes the NTUSER.DAT file to become corrupt and go from being around
2 – 3 MBs to 256KB (In all cases where a user has had this issue there NTUSER.DAT file has been 256KB)
Current Resolution to the problem
When a staff member contact us with this problem, we fortunately have Previous Versions working on the profiles folder on the server, so we are able to restore their NTUSER.DAT file from 1 to 2 days before it became corrupt, which then seems to allow them
to log on fine
What we have tried so far & suggested so far
After some research on Google, we found the following thread on EduGeek
http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/78733-windows-7-user-profile-failed-error-again.html#post700415
Which suggested that the problem may lay within registry, so we implemented the Script that was posted on the website, however this has not seemed to make any difference
In the early stages when only 5 – 10 staff seemed to be having the problem, we believed the issue could be with just certain AD accounts. It had not seemed to happen to any recently created AD accounts so we thought it could be a corrupt attribute on
the user so we delete one of the staff AD accounts that had the problem and creating a brand new one, however within about 2 – 3 weeks that staff member had the issue occur again
Leading on from point two, we also thought the problem could be with people using multiple computers, logging on in 2 places and not logging off properly, but unfortunately the staff member referred to in point 2 only uses the one computer in reception.
Another potential cause that we figured might be the route of the problem, was it could be specific computers that are not communicating properly with the server, which could be causing this problem to occur, but we have no real way of testing this,
as the staff generally log onto 3 – 4 different computers throughout the day and in different location
We log a call with EE and they just pointed us to various websites that we had already checked and wasn’t much help.
In Summary
This error has now occurred with about 20 members of staff, we currently only use Windows 7 at our Senior School & Moving to Windows 7 at our Prep School in the Summer
holidays, we would like to find out the route of this problem ideally before then, as we could potentially be doubling the amount of staff with the problem after the move. Has anyone else seen this problem or have a brain wave on how to solve it?

Andy

Hi Dudleya,
First of all ,I would suggest to check the permissions of the NTUSER.DAT registry hive .Here is a link for reference :

Please refer to this link and add the registry keys to have a check .Please backup the registry keys before you made modifications to them.

Windows failed to start. Required device inaccessible.

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change could be the cause. The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible . Both hard disk and memory test passed. Please let me know what can be done. I think it's battery issue because it says battery problem but even if I remove the battery it's not going to windows home screen. Also tried I'm safe mode, did not work.

Hi @San16,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that when you start your notebook you are seeing " The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible"
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Resolve Boot Device Not Found Error Message (Windows 8, 7). As you have already tested the hard drive and memory you can omit that step.
If a recovery should be required, you will have an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss during that process. The link for the recovery process is in the document provided.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7) should it be needed.
Best of Luck!

The Group Policy Client Service Failed The Logon

Hello,
When our students login to our Windows 7 machines they are getting this error:
The Group Policy Client Service Failed The Logon
Access is denied.
We are attempting to use both volatile and roaming profiles. The profiles are being stored on their H drives. I seem to only see the issue when the Windows NT 6.1 Workstation Profile.V2 folder already exists on their H drive. If the profile is not there then everything works fine.
Loading the user's ntuser.dat hive located in their H drive and changing the permissions manually to allow System, Administrators, and Users Full Control fixes the issue. How can I do this across all my user's H drives? Should I just delete them all and manually create the folder myself?
Last time I found one, the permissions for the hive had an "Unknown" user in the permissions list. There was no "Users" group. Removing the "Unknown" and adding "Users" fixed the problem. Are the permissions getting corrupted somehow?
Thanks for any assistance.
I've used the following link for reference:

So I have tried this with students that are experiencing the problem, and gotten limited success. It feels like it works at random, with around 50% of attempts working.
Has anyone out there had success with roaming profiles? Do I just need to go back to folder redirection? Will anyone please respond?
This is what the student's ntuser.dat hive permissions look like when things are not working:

User profile service service failed the logon?

Every time I try to logon to my user account in windows vista home premium, it says :The User Profile Service service Has failed the logon. The User Profile Cannot Be Loaded." The Rest of the accounts on my computer still work fine. But New User Accounts say the same thing. System restore didn't even fix it when i restored back as far as possible. I've scanned for viruses with all security programs that I have, along with system diagnostics, etc. and still nothing. it still did it even after I moved all my files to another user's folder and deleted my account. I didn't change anything or add or delete anything before it stopped working. When i go to " user profiles" in "System properties" it showed my profile was a backup and unknown profile size. after I deleted my account, it didn't show my profile at all.

Windows Vista Home Premium failed logon
Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1720, about 4 weeks old, O S Windows Visa home premium.
On switching on, my profile picture appears and requests the pass word, on entering the password the following message appears "The user profile service failed logon.User profile cannot be loaded"
I have searched forums for assistance, but some say to press F8 on boot up I only have an F2 or F12 option on my Inspiron. also I only have one profile on the laptop as some are suggesting log on via guest profile and change settings, but i am unable to do this as i have no guest profile set up. Please help!

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

Hey
when I try to log on to the computer using a domain account, I get "User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded" it allows me to login using the local account. I have restored the computer as far
back as it can go, I have taken it off the domain and re-joined it, I installed a program called 'Glary utilities 5' and ran a registry repair and that did not work either. I am now out of ideas :(
Was hoping someone has any more ideas I could try before doing a fresh install.
Thanks in advance

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
S-1-5-21-803116559-3522019405-271708535-1001 I receive an error :
The Registry Editor cannot rename S-1-5-21-803116559-3522019405-271708535-1001. Error while renaming key.
Have I picked the wrong file to rename? Please advise. Hopefully I have provided sufficient information. If not please advise.
Here is a list of the folders, and their respective ProfileImagePath and State information:
S-1-5-18
= Value name: ProfileImagePath Value data: %systemroot%\system32\config\systemprofile
        = Value name: State Value data: 0

Hi,
If you want to modify the registry, you must have administrator privilege.
Since no other administrator account in your computer, you may have to active the built-in administrator account.
For detail steps, please refer to the similar thread.

How to add a cloud machine as a node to existing windows fail over cluster having on-premise node in Windows server 2008 R2

Hi All,
We have a windows fail over cluster having one windows machine on local network as one of its node.
I want to add a virtual cloud machine available on microsoft azure as another node to this existing cluster.
Please suggest how to do this?
Thanking all in advance,
Raghvendra

Before you even start working on the SQL side, you will need to create a Windows Server 2008 R2 cluster with no shared storage. You can actually test that in-house. Create a VM running 2008 R2 and cluster it with your physical (from your description,
I am assuming physical) 2008 R2 machine. Create it with a file share witness for quorum. Then configure your environment to see that it works as expected.
Once you know how to configure the cluster between physical and VM with a file share witness, build it to Azure. The location of the FSW gets to be an interesting choice. To have a FSW in Azure means that you will need another VM in Azure to
host the file share, meaning you have two quorum votes in Azure and one in-house. Or, you could create a file share witness on an in-house system, giving you two quorum votes in-house and one in Azure.
In the FSW in Azure scenario, if you have a loss of the in-house server, automatic failover occurs because two quorum votes exist in Azure. With FSW in-house, depending on the loss you have in-house, you might have to force quorum to get the Azure
single-node cluster to run. Loss of access to Azure reverses those scenarios. Neither one is optimal, but it does provide some level of recoverability.

Can't Log Any Users Onto My Domain Except the Administrator Getting The Following Error "The user profile service failed the logon"

Hi All,
I am currently completing a project for college which involves the creation of a domain, OU's, GPO's etc within a virtual environment.
I am using Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running this on VMware however after having completed and tested all my GPO's now none of my users are able to log on to the domain and keep getting the following error message "The user profile service failed
the logon" "User profile cannot be loaded".
I have tried to a lot of different options prior to posting which include:
Creating a new user account/s in case the previous user policies were corrupt the same error message is shown.
I also configured my DC to allow users to log onto the DC in case this was a network issue but the same error still exists.
My Administrator account always logs onto the DC without fail and applies all the GPO's as it should.
I have rebuilt my servers twice now at this stage and the same problems keep happening at first it was just confined to users within a single OU but now is Domain wide any suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks,
John

John,
Since this is a project, you may have experimented with various settings in multiple Group Policies, so I would recommend you run the Group Policy Modelling Wizard, as it will show you all the GP settings down to a specific user on a specific computer, plus
tell you which Group Policy sets and which settings, and thereby perhaps find where the problem occurs.
Please mark as answer or vote
as helpful when
it applies. Thanks!
