After deleting a user profile completely, sometimes we get this event when creating a fresh profile where it stops creating a new profile on the server.
Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service Date: Date Event ID: 1511 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: User Computer: Computer Description: 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.
Step1: In the Run menu type Regedit and hit the Enter key.
Open Registry editor.
Go to this location.
Take a Registry Backup – Recommended – Right Click Export And Save it.
You can find GUIDs with .bak Extension where you can remove those:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Log off and log back in.
User profile should be created without any issues. For testing purposes, the corrupt profile can be renamed to [sid].old easily with the following PowerShell script: $objUser = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount(Read-Host -Prompt "Enter Username") $strSID = $objUser.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]) #$strSID.Value Rename-Item -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\$($strSID.Value)" -NewName "$($strSID.Value).old"
