Guest td Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I have a user that when he logs onto our TS 2003 box it hangs at loading your personal settings. He did not have any issues in the past. This has just started happening. I was going to rename his current profile and let him log on and then I would just copy over what he needed from his old profile to the new one but.....when I try to rename the old profile it says Access is denied. Make sure disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not in use. I am assuming that there is a file within this profile that is locked or hung by the system. Is there anyway to unlock it without restarting the server? IS there anyway to see what file is locked in that profile? We have UPHClean installed but that does not help. Thomas
Guest td Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Re: User Profile hangs Also I wanted to add the profile is only 13.8MB and we don't use roaming profiles.

Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Re: User Profile hangs You could use process explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx) to see what is being kept open and potentially close it.

Guest td Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Re: User Profile hangs Great tool! But I can't find anything that is locked.

That usually fixes this and allows me to do whatever I want. BTW, when you do this, you will get an "Unknown" profile if you list profiles under My Computer properties... -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services

Guest David Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: User Profile hangs Failing that give the server a good old reboot. That might even sort his problem with logging on.
