Problems with Default User in netlogon

[Guest Darren]

Hi All

 

I hope someone can help me with this problem. We have a Windows 2003

Enterprise server with a mix of Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro

machines and a Windows 2003 R2 terminal server.

 

About a 18 months ago I created a Default User based on a Windows 2000 Pro

machines and put it in the netlogon share of the domain controller, this

seem to work fine. However I deleted it a few weeks ago because of some

network changes, but even though I have done this it still seems to take

effect, for instants, when a new users logs on My Computer contains links

to mapped drives that still exist but are mapped differently in the login

script and even occures when the users doesn't even have a login script.

 

I have tried to remove the mapped drives on a per user basis but they just

keep coming back at next login/reboot, I have tried deleting the profile

but it makes no difference.

 

Also in the Default User I had setup Outlook 2003 to auto run at login and

configure itself using a prf file stored in the netlogon share. After

deleting the Default User, this still happens even when the user has no

login script assigned and it's a brand new PC which hasn't been configured

to autorun Outlook on first login. We have some general accounts without

mailboxes which causes an error eveytime they logon. I have renamed the

prf and now instead of trying to apply it it just loads Outlook at login,

so it still seems to be trying to load the Default User profile from the

server

 

Both of the above affect any user (new or old) that logs on to the domain

using a brand new imaged PC or an existing pc. Local users aren't affected.

 

I have also noticed that when a user logs on to a Windows XP Pro or the

Windows 2003 terminal server, the windows sounds they hear are from Windows

2000.

 

It seems that all the PCs are finding a Default User profile on the server

and still applying it despite the fact that it no longer exists anywhere on

the server, I've even done a search for it with no results.

 

I have even created a new blank Default User profile, and gave the Everyone

group permission to access it but it doesn't take affect.

 

Dispite a lot of googling I can't seem to find any info on the correct way

to remove it, if there is one. I'm tearing my hair out over this one, it's

causing a few issues now and I'm deperate to get rid of it. Am I missing

something simple here?

I think you've deleted the wrong "Default User" profile folder. If you

delete the real thing then Windows will complain bitterly when a new

user logs on for the first time.

I'm not quite sure which one you mean, how many Default User profile are

there?, I count 3, one on each workstation in Docs and Settings, 1 on

the server in Docs and Setting and the one I deleted that was located in

\\mydomaincontroller\netlogon\. This is the one that was created when I

clicked Copy To and entered \\mydomaincontroller\netlogon\Default User

and gave the everyone group access to download it.

The "Default User" profile folder is a hidden folder that resides on the

user's workstation.

As I said above I know that there is a default user profile in

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User which is hidden on every

workstation and on every server, I have not touched any of these at all.

 

What I did is create a new user and setup their profile how I want all

new profiles to be configured then under Administrator I followed this

link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/168475 to copy it to the netlogon

share on the server, however I deleted it recently but even new PCs are

still using it to create new user logins.

 

Surely it cannot copy something that does not exist anymore, even if the

old workstations cached a copy the new workstations cannot possibly find

it as it was deleted before they were even built.

I've sorted it now, it seems that someone from our company added an old

copy of the logon script into the main Default Domain Policy GPO,

removing this has sorted the map drives issue and the Outlook auto run

at login issue. I can live with Windows 2000 sounds on the newer PCs.

 

Thanks Pegasus for the help.
