Windows NT Terminal Server Profile Issue

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

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

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.
