Windows 8.1 keeps forgetting my domain profile

I just did a fresh install of Windows 8, did updates, then upgraded to 8.1 via store.  I created the default local account then after 8.1 was updated I connected to my domain.  I can log into my admin domain account fine but Windows can't remember
my profile.  Any apps I set up, shortcuts on the desktop, or favorites added to IE, when I restart its all erased and back to square one.  I've tested it a few times and each time Windows has to set up my profile like its my first time ever logging
in.  How do I prevent this from happening?

Hi,
How about your local account? Is it also had this problem? If this problem just happened on Domain Account, it is probably your account file damaged during join into domain.
Firstly, please check Event Viewer if it identify this events.
Secondly, Open Registry and access to the volume below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Check and delete the problem account list. After that, exit your account from domain and join it again for test.

  • Windows 8.1 x64 enteprise default domain profile creation nightmare

    Microsoft.WindowsLive.Calendar.wwa
    and APPID
    Unavailable
    to the user .......-277033270-7741) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

    I use this xml block in local gpedit.msc location User configuration - administrative template - start menu and taskbar - Start Screen Layout. Path for xml file is ok and my strat screen is Ok after this. Problem is that other store apps after I am apply
    this xml file, when I click for example on store calculator it is minimized on taskbar and cant be started. In error log I am found error 10016 for calculator. Why I cant start other store apps if I am configured only start menu icons? I have windows 8.1 update
    1 x64 enteprise.
    Before I am apply this xml file my store apps is work ok for all domain users.

  • Windows 8.1 keeps forgetting my network credentials

    I frequently need to access files on my (Qnap TS-109II, Samba-based) NAS so I connect to
    \\server\share using the "Remember my credentials" checkbox.
    Alas, I often get errors (e.g. with File History, or just accessing a share from Windows Explorer's "Recent places") because the credentials are not valid: I need to re-enter my password and check "Remember my credentials" again.
    And again...
    Any clue?

    You've probably already thought of this... Have you logged-off or rebooted gracefully after making the connection, so settings are saved. I ask because some folks just run Windows until it crashes or locks up, never giving the system a chance to save registry
    data.

  • InDesign keeps crashing ever since I switched the user to a domain profile from a local, what can I do?

    InDesign keeps crashing ever since I switched the user to a domain profile from a local, what can I do?

    He's running ID CS6 on Yosemite, and it is random as of now. No particular thing makes it crash, it just displays that the program has stopped running. However when we switch to his local profile he can work with no issue.

  • ITunes doesn't open when using cached domain profile

    I have iTunes 10.5.2.11 installed on my Windows 7 machine.
    When I am connected (via a LAN) to the Active Directory domain, iTunes works fine, opens etc.
    However, when I login to the laptop at home using my cached domain profile, iTunes does not load, or even give an error message.
    Help?

    gta129,
    Do you have iTunesHelper set to start up when you login? To check if it's in the list of login items:
    1. Open System Preferences.
    2. Click the Accounts pane.
    3. Select your user.
    4. Click the Login Items tab.
    5. See if iTunes Helper is listed here.
    Hope this helps,

  • MacBool Air / Leopard keep forgetting file preferences.

    Hi,
    My MacBook Air keeps forgetting file preferences. I'm an audio engineer, and so I want my audio files to open in the programs I prefer over iTunes. Also, quicktime can't play most AVIs, yet it tries to open them.
    I know how to set the preferred programs in the info dialog. But as soon as I restart (which I do about once a week) all these settings are gone. This is particularly annoying with iTunes, as it conflicts heavily with my other software, but I can't trash it until I found a good batch convertor.
    I first noticed this forgetfulness after switching on FileVault.
    The question is: How can I make my macbook remember these settings?

    This information is stored/controlled by Launch Services. I would try resetting the LS database and see if that helps.
    Run these commands in Terminal:
    cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/
    ./lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Hope that helps...

  • Mandatory domain profiles

    We have a mixture of both pc and mac workstations at the school where i work that are all controlled from a Tiger Server.
    we recently switched over to a domain and as a result instead of all of the children logging on with the user name pupil we created individual users for each student.
    I wanted to create a mandatory profile for windows that I could bind to each students account so when they logged on it took thier display picture/proxy settings/ restrictions etc from this profile on the server.
    A friend of mine who works in another school with a domain recommended i make a dummy local profile on one of the pcs and set up all the settings that i want, then copy the profile folder from c:\documents and settings\(username)
    over to the server renaming the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man
    then in the profile path for each user in mac os server workgroup manager allocate each user to use the profile from the path i place the profile in.
    at first this caused errors saying it couldnt find or didnt have permission to open the profile, after much trial and error i have managed to remove this error and get the windows machines logging on to the server to actualy call up this profile, but it seems to ignore all the settings completely as if it hadnt loaded the profile at all.
    does anyone have any ideas how I can successfuly get the windows workstations to get all the pupil accounts settings from the server each time they log on (read only) so that they cannot change them.
    Many Thanks.
    This domain has been doing my head in

    We did this on our labs before we got a dedicated windows PDC.
    First, create your ideal profile on a machine. After you're happy with it, change the file ntuser.dat to ntuser.man. This will force it to become a mandatory profile. Then move that entire directory into a shared space, giving users "Full Control" to that folder, or on Mac OS, chmod 777. If on a Mac, share it using SMB, on Windows, do a regular windows share.
    In Workgroup Manager, specify that all the users need to use that particular profile (just point to the directory). That should do the trick.
    Hope that helps,
    Jason

  • IPod keeps forgetting it's configuration

    My iPod 15GB with dock connector (no click wheel) keeps forgetting it's configuration if not used for a few days.
    The battery is fully charged; often the iPod is in the dock with power continuously connected.
    When switching on, the iPod displays the Apple logo for about half a minute. Afterwards it comes back with the default configuration (English language, no backlight, by far too low contrast -- almost unreadable, etc.). At least the music library is kept
    I'm using iTunes 6; the iPod is updated to 2.3
    PC   Windows XP   iPod

    I hope you get a reply soon this is driving me crazy. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and that seemed to fix it for a couple of days, but it's back on bad behavior now. Really, really aggravating.

  • Need a script to delete Old domain profiles folders

    Hi
    Thanks in Advance
    I have desk space issue in my Org.
    There are 3000 to 5000 windows servers exist in our Org.
    I am running a desk clean every day with a script
    1)      C:\Temp; C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations; C:\WINDOWS\Offline
    Web Pages; C:\WINDOWS\servicepackfiles; C:\WINDOWS\temp
    2)      It runs the below commands on all the above folders
    DEL /F /Q /S C:\temp\*
    for /D %%i in ("C:\temp\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"
    But I am still facing issue with C drive space, as many domain accounts  users login into the servers and folder are created in
    Windows 2003: c:\Document settings\<user folder>
    windows 2008: C:\users\<user folder> 
    So i need manullay login into the servers to delete this user profiles folder.
    I need a script to clear this folders older than 30 days.
    Please help me
    Thanks

    In WIndows 2003 use delprof to remve old profiles
    DELPROF:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5405
    DELPROF /c:\\computername /d:30
    On WS2008 and later use Group Policy.
    On Termminal Server profiles should be roamed to a NAS or SAN or file server and the session should be set to remove the local copy at the end of the session.
    On Windows 2008 you can fairly easily move the users folder "C:\Users" to another drive if youare running out of space.  Terminal Server only porfiles can be moved seeparately to a new drive or network location using RDS configuration or Group
    Policy.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • How do you find out if the domain profile is active in the firewall?

    A script needs to determine if a firewall profile is active.  Does anybody know of a function to do this?
    The problem I a trying to solve is when a server boots it may not activate the domain profile.  It happens if the server is booted before a domain controller comes on line or if and adapter team is in use.  To solve this, I run a script at boot
    up that waits and then restarts the nla service and typically the domain profile will become active.  However it isn't fool proof.  I want to modify the script to verify that the domain profile has become active.  However, I cannot find a function
    to determine if the domain profile is active. Can someone help with this?

    Are you using something with PowerShell 4.0 that has the NetSecurity module? The second part of that question will be based on the version of the Windows Operating System. To check, try this: Get-Module -Name NetSecurity. If you do, you can based your logic
    around the Get-NetFirewallProfile and, perhaps, the Set-NetFirewallProfile cmdlet.
    Get-NetFirewallProfile -Name Domain
    Get-NetFirewallProfile -Name Domain | select Enabled
    Get-NetFirewallProfile -Name Domain | select -ExpandProperty Enabled
    (Get-NetFirewallProfile -Name Domain).Enabled
    To enable (or, activate) the profile, you can pipe your Get- cmdlet to the Set- version of the cmdlet.
    Get-NetFirewallProfile -Name Domain | Set-NetFirewallProfile -Enabled:True
    Without access to this version of PowerShell and this module, you'll either need to use netsh and/or WMI. I haven't checked myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if you can find something in the
    Gallery.

  • Changed domain profiles - now unable to verify identify for password recovery

    This problem seems to have incorporated parts of other threads. I do not know if the anyone else ended up at the same place - frankly, the IBM / Lenovo support process is bewildering.
    Anyhow, we switched domains recently. I dropped the domain profile to a local profile, then rejoined to the next domain. Problems ensued.
    At this point, I have gone into BIOS and purged all fingerprint information (after uninstalling CSS 8.0 and fingerprint 5.6 software). Reinstalled CSS (8.1) and FP 5.6. Was eventually able to delete the fingerprint profiles associated with the previous user profile. Enrolled FP for the new profile.
    I am repeatedly asked to verify my identify. However, I am unable to modify / recover the CSS password. I can complete the three questions to get into the password manager, but never can reset the CSS pw)
    Frankly, I do not even know if I am describing this correctly. Uugh. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What I had to end up doing was re-sync the password used on the old domain with the password stored in the CSS.
    I did this be changing my password under the windows change password function. The password had to match exactly. After that, I logged into CSS normally, without a hitch. Once confirmed, I could modify my windows password normally, and CSS somehow synchronized with this.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS1398 My new iPad keeps forgetting my Internet password every time it is switched off or goes on flight mode

    My new iPad keeps forgetting my Internet password every time it is switched off or goes on flight mode. Have tried resetting the network setting as it suggest on the support page. The Internet  works fine with my windows PC and my son's iPad 2. Any advice?

    Have you tried powering off and then back on your router?
    Does it only happen with your router? If so that would tend to indicate a router problem.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 non-default domain admin limitations

    Enivronment: Windows Server 2012 R2Problem: members of Domain Admins group are restricted in ways the default domain admin account is not. This is with or without UAC disabled; there are even more prompts with UAC enabled. Here are two examples:Attempt to copy to Public Desktop. Built-in domain admin or local admin account can do so without restriction; any other member of Domain Admins group is prompted for administrator permission (although clicking Continue proceeds without actually requiring further authentication/permission)Right-click -> Properties of hard drive in Explorer is missing Shadow Copies tab for non-default Domain Admin. Yes, I can simply right-click the drive and go to Configure Shadow Copies, so this one is not so important. But it is an inconsistency that means I have to access things just a bit differently...

  • Windows 8 PC Slow Connection to Domain Network

    I have a Windows 8 laptop connected to a domain. It is connected Via Ethernet Cable and the connection is extremely slow in sync center and accessing network drives... Basically, doing anything on the network. I am not sure why it is going slow. There are
    hundreds of computers/laptops connected to the domain network and no one else is experiencing this issue. 
    Any ideas/suggestions?

    Hi,
    I want to know the size of the offline file, because Windows syncs your offline files for you automatically  when a network file is changed, the offline copy stored on your computer is also updated, and vice versa. So, if the file size is too large
    it will cause the slow performance. Meanwhile, I suggest to trace the network performance with Netmonitor, this helps to analyze the network performance problem, you can download it here, after downloading and installing it, you can “new capture tab” and then
    click “start” to create a new trace file. This will give which protocol is using large resources,
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=4865
    Besides, check whether you have any other anti-virus software that is scanning files or documents on your computer, that will also cause a slow performance.
