The profiles get corrupted and users can't log in.  It isn't about
permissions.  You can delete the .bak sid from the registry or apply the
hotfix.

Hi all,

   I've got a problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with. During
the last week of December I had a Win2k3 RC2 primary domain controller
fail (hardware). Because I could not "gracefully" demote it, I seized
all of the domain functions to the backup and built a replacement BDC.
That was a real headache but, got through it. I now have another
problem. I had roaming profiles setup for our staff, so they could get
their e-mail, bookmarks, etc. I am having an "access denied" error now
when a user logs on as themselves. I understand from the KB articles
that the profiles folder on the server share (\\server\profiles
<file:///\\server\profiles> ) requires creator owner to have full
control on subfolder and files only and the user's group to have list
folder /read data, create folders /append data this folder only. The
actual users profile folder (user.v2) has system full control &
%username% full control & owner of folder. The administrator has NO
permissions. Here in lies my problem. How do I copy their profile data
to a folder that can have no access permissions for the administrator. I
have created the profiles folder and copied all of the data to it then
tried resetting all of the permissions as directed. I STILL get the
access denied error when logging on as the user. 

  If there is a Do "this" then Do "this" then Do "that" type of document
on the web about fixing this problem, I haven't found it. Has anyone had
any experience with this or a resource I can go to that describes the
procedure to fix it?

 

TIA
