Hello Joe,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you get error when you
logon user account on client computer with local profile. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Ans.
Not exactly. The logon goes fine for days then all of the sudden the user
cannot log on to domain. One PC worked fine for about 10 days before this
happened. They come in turn on the computer and get the message "windows
cannot load the local profile and is logging you on with a tempory profile.
Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off"
|
Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

First, please check the user account properties on SBS domain, make sure
you do not enable roaming profile under the Profile tab.

Ans. No roaming profiles are set up

Note: This behavior can occur if the server that hosts the roaming profile
is not available or cannot be reached by the workstation. Ensure that the
client has connectivity and can resolve the server that is hosting the
roaming profile.

If the user account really logon local profile, please perform the
following steps:

1. Run "WHOAMI /USER" to determine the user's correct SID.

2. Check the ProfileImagePath value under the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<SID>

3. Check the other ProfileList\<SID> keys for matching ProfileImagePath
values, then deleted those keys.

If we can not resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
kindly help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. When do you get this error? Please capture screenshots on the error
messages and send the pictures to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ans.
it occures out of the blue when login on. Screen cannot be captured because
the user has not been logged on yet

2. Do you get this error on SBS or on client computer?

Ans.
It is on the client. An XP SP2 machine

3. Does this problem happen on all domain accounts, or just specific
account?

Ans.

As I states in the orginal text, it has happened on 3 PCs. They were random.
It only happens once. You can not log the user on until it is fixed on that
machine. Other accounts can log on fine to that machine. You have to fix the
SID in the registry to continue >>IE. "the only way to fix it is to go into
" Hi
key_local_machine,software/microsoft/windowsNT/currentversion/profilelist/u
sername" , remove the old SID name from previous domain, remove the .bak
extension that gets attached to the new domain SID, and repoint it to the
correct
folder name in Documens and settings.

4. Does this problem happen on all client computer, or just specific
computer?

Ans. One specifice computer

5. Try to create a new domain account and logon, does this issue happen
again?

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

| Since the new install of one system , a Dell 2900 with SBS2003 R2 and
SP2,
| the following has happened to me 3 times. All the workstations started
| working fine then on a random basis (first one took a day,the next 5
days,
| the third 10 days) I get the following message:
|
| "windows cannot load the local profile and is logging you on with a

|
| the only way to fix it is to go into "

| folder name in Documens and settings.
|
| Anyone else have this happen? Is this another SP2 problem? Or is it a
