I was just looking through some of my posts when I saw this and realized
that
I should have updated this a while ago....

The reason new users could not load profiles is because the Default User
profile was something like 4 GB in size. The culprit was Retrospect, the
Backup Application that the server admin was using. Believe it or not,
it
was storing the backup catalogs in the Default User profile. I later
came
across a few other servers with the exact same problem, as Retrospect is
used
by many in our large organization.

For me this was a new wrinkle to an old problem, so always check the size
of
the Default User profile when new users are unable to load a profile.

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

From your post I understand that you receive a popup with the message
"Windows cannot load the user's profile. There is not enough space on
the
disk......" when logging on a Windows server 2000 SP4 machine. If I
have
misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.

Based on my research I suggest you perform the following steps to
narrow
down the issue.

Step 1: Please boot the system into Safe mode and check to see if the
issue
persists.

To start in Safe mode, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Shut Down.
2. Click Restart, and then click OK.
3. As the computer restarts, press F8.
4. Select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking, and then press ENTER.


Step 2: Disabling Third-Party Services

For more detailed information please refer to the following article:

281770 How to perform clean-boot troubleshooting for Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;281770

If the issue still persists please provide me with a screenshot for the
exact error massage.

Taking a screen shot
-------------------

1. Press the Pr Scrn key once on the keyboard when the error message
appears.
2. Click Start, go to Run, enter MSPAINT in the open dialog box, and
then
Click OK.
3. Use Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot to the canvas.
4. From the File menu, go to Save and save it as a JPG file.
5. Send the JPG file as an attachment to v-jasont@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear,
please
feel free to let me know.

| Hi -
|
| Windows 2000 Server, SP4. When a new user (even one with
Administrator
| rights) tries to log on, a box pops up with the message "Windows
cannot
load
| the user's profile. There is not enough space on the disk......".
It
will
| create the profile folder, but each subseqent logon creates a new one
with
| .000, .001, etc. appended to it.
| There is plenty of space on the C drive (about 4GB), which is where
the
| profiles live. We aren't using roaming profiles or folder
redirection or
| anything like that. I checked the size of the Registry in the System
applet
| and it's currently 17MB with a maximum size set to 90MB. Whether the
account
| is a domain one or local makes no difference.
|
| I saw some other weird behavior: When I logged on with an account
that
had
| this problem I would type "set" and see the profile path from a
previously
| logged on user. (Interestingly, that user also had this problem.)
|
| Any other ideas about what could be causing this?
|
| Thanks.
|
