User Profile Cannot Be Loaded


User Profile Cannot Be Loaded, Windows Login , Roaming Profile, Redirected Folders. 





Have you seen this  when logging in or working on an issue your users are having. 
If there is redirected folders and roaming profile for appdatta, the causes could be many. The solution i found just recently was the user's profile was actually maybe corrupted. if not corrupted, there was a problem that was causing this within the profile. 
This environment was using citrix but this problem is not limited to Citrix. This could occur with terminal server (remote desktop service host) or even just a plain desktop connected to the domain. 
In this case there was a group policy that redirect users folders to a server share as well as the appdata roaming folders.  The enthronement consisted of pooled desktops which mean users would get random non persistent desktop. Again as stated, this problem could occur on a physical desktop, there is not need to have virtual desktop for this issue to occur but it does appear more often when working with virtualization. 

Rename the users roaming profile folder . Add _OLD at the end or something similar. DO NOT recreate the user's folder manually. Have the user login and the folders will re-create automatically with the correct permissions applied to hem. If you create it manually as an administrator, you'll have to manually set all the permissions for SYSTEM creator owner , the user, etc.. it's easier to have the login process create them for you. All this can be done from a vmware console, or RMM MSP type management software that allows remote access and control. not limited to either vmware of RMM, other software for desktop remote access can be used and it's your choice which one .
