Fixed the issue- You have been logged on with Temp Profile on Windows Server 2008 R2


This week when I logged off one remote machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and logged in again, my configuration files in this machine disappeared all the time. Therefore, I needed to configure again. The notification message mentioned:  

You have been logged on with Temp Profile.

After looking into this issue, I saw the following user profiles and I didn’t see my profile (ralin).

C:\Users\TEMP.domainName.000 (first time to login)

C:\Users\TEMP.domainName.001 (second time login)

C:\Users\TEMP.domainName.002 (third time to login)

That explained why I always logged in via Temp Profile.

How to solve this issue?  After looking into it, it is easy.

Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Search my username (ralin).

Delete the folder S1-5-21-706…


Log off and login again.

My user profile (C:\Users\ralin) appears finally.

    Thanks for this. Like Darrell I did not think this would be so easy. Other sites kept talking about "corrupt" profile folders, but my folder was not in the users folder.
