Asked by:
the group policy client service failed the logon (admin and only account)

Question
-
Most of the suggestions offered up by google include using the admin account.
In my case, this happens with my only and thus admin account (personal computer - windows 7).
I would like a solution if possible avoiding a system restore as there are files I do not wish to lose.
I have had issues with the concerned computer for the past 2 months, loading up a temporary profile, and necessitating renaming of the profile via regedit (removing the .bak).
I have attempted to activate the integrated admin account via the console in the system restore menu, which the console accepted ; however it does not appear, and when I try to log in with 'admin' user name, I am informed it has been deactivated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi LePianiste,
This error means your profile resgistry database cannot be loaded at that time. This maybe caused by the corrupted user profile or corrupted security settings.
Please log on with the built-in administrator account, then backup all your useful data under user profile path=>Delete the existing profile and recreate one.
OR you could boot into Windows Recovery Environment and rename the folder of your user profile under c:\users.
We could get more information about the issue in the link below.
If the issue still insists, I’m afraid that we need to use the system restore.
Hope it will be helpful to you

Thanks,
For some reason, I can't activate the built-in admin account. The command is accepted and acknoledged in the console, but on the login screen, there is no admin account, and when I attempt to log in with admin as username, windows tells me this account has been deactivated.
How would I rename the user profile folder from the recovery environment ?
