Terminal Server Profile Issue


Recommended Posts

Guest Graham Webber
Posted

Hello,

 

I am getting a very strange profile issue on a clients terminal server. Some

users (and they are always the same users) are unable to use their profile

on the terminal server. I have attached the event logs below. But the same

users never have a problem using the profile when logging on to a PC.

 

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Userenv

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1509

Date: 18/07/2007

Time: 09:06:14

User: DOMAIN\THISUser

Computer: TERMSERVER

Description:

Windows cannot copy file \\FILESERVER\Profiles\THISUSER\NTUSER.DAT to

location C:\Documents and Settings\THISUSER\NTUSER.DAT. Possible causes of

this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this

problem persists, contact your network administrator.

 

DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by

another process.

 

Then Source: UserEnv Event: 1511: Windows cannot find the local profile and

is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile

will be lost when you log off.

 

and then:

Windows saved user DOMAIN\ThisUser registry while an application or service

was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's

registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no

longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring

the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

 

 

The only solution to this problem appears to be to reboot the terminal

server, but obviously i do not want to reboot the server every couple of

days.

 

 

I have checked everything obvious, no services are running as user accounts,

etc. This porblem only appears to effect certain users.

 

Thanks for any sugguestions.

Graham

Hello Graham,

 

Thank you for using newsgroup!

 

First thanks Dragos for his kindly suggestion. You may refer to his

suggestion. Also please confirm if the some virus or file scan program on

the terminal server, if yes, please stop them to see if the problem still

happen.

 

On the TS, please go to C:\Documents & Settings to see if the profiles have

been listed. If not, please open the registry editor to:

HKLM\software\microsoft\windowsNT\profile list-change the path; restart the

machine to test.

 

Thanks & Regards,

 

Ken Zhao

RE: Terminal Server Profile Issue

 

Hi,

 

Maybe my question is quite basic but here it goes:

 

I have a Windows Server 2003 providing Terminal Services. The very first a

user logs on, it gets all the regional settings from the client, that's fine.

But if the same user logs in with different regional settings, it keeps using

the first settings the server picked at the first log on (even if I delete

the profile from the server). The problem is quite critical due to the date

formats.

The input settings (keyboard settings) and the time zone settings are

refreshed correctly, but the settings for the Numbers, Currencies, times and

dates don't.

 

Do you know what might be happening or how/where to change this behavior?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Pedro Vazquez

RE: Terminal Server Profile Issue

 

I'm not sure what you can do about this, since Standards and

formats are user-specific settings and are stored in the user

profile.

The first time a user without an existing TS profile logs on, these

settings are taken from the Default User profile on the TS, not

from the settings on the client.

The Default input language is taken from the client, and the

TimeZone if TimeZone redirection is enabled in a GPO.

 

Documented here:

Windows Server 2003 are applied
