    Logged in as a temporary profile (on a domain)


    Hi, few of my computers on my domain have this same problem but I am just wondering if it's something to do with the server or with the client.

    Everytime I log in as a test account which I have made, a balloon message keeps popping up saying that "You've logged into a temporary profile!" and it's telling me that the stuff will be deleted after I log out - what shall I do to stop from happening

    In regedit, I see a big list in the ProfileList folder but there are no .bak files. So what shall I do? But I am just wondering if some parts of the Group Policy may be affecting it! But I don't know what's going on.

    If anyone has a 3rd party application fixer which it might be easy for me to fix this problem out straight away?

    Thanks!

    Profile path and Folder Redirection are working and connected in the user's properties.

    Is this with only one account? Did you try creating another test user?

    I did everything and it wont work, looks like I have to reset the computer back to fresh. But I can tell you that when I do these steps the TEMP account just keeps creating and it doesn't make a folder in the ProfileList in the registry. Is there any way to do solve this problem?

    How about these?

    Is this with only one account? Did you try creating another test user?
    Adding to them:
    - Did you try logging with a local admin?
    - Try excluding the PCs and test user from GPOs?
