User Profiles on your Golden image
January 23, 2013 Leave a comment
Following my previous post about user profiles not removed at logoff, I noticed every now and then a temporary user profile will be utilized rather than the roaming/mandatory profile.
When connecting with specific accounts, I noticed the following error “You have been logged on with a temporary profile…”
Environment:
- Windows 2008 R2
- XenApp 6.5
- XenDesktop 5.6
- UPM 4.1
Issue:
- When connecting to XenApp/XenDesktop, the user will receive an the error “You have been logged on with a temporary profile…”
- All user customization are lost when connecting with the temporary profile.
Cause:
- Launch regedit.
- Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. Within the ProfileList hive, each account has a directory with a name similar to S-1-5-*.
- Click each directory and check the ProfileImagePath key to determine the user account name.
- Note the accounts that you want to remove and their associated GUID.
- Remove these GUIDs from both these locations:
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid
