Hello,

I have a problem which has occured a few times and has me
concerned that it might start to happen more often. One
user tries to login under Metaframe XP FR2 and where he
was able to login no problem last week, suddenly cannot
this week, the user in question receives the following
errors, either:

1) Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. The
system has attempted to load or restore a file into the
registry, but the specified file is not in a registry file
format.

2) Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be
loaded. DETAIL=Access is denied.
 
Check under the profile folders on all metaframe XP
servers and look for any TEMP folders. These must be
removed, the users profile is associated to a
unsynchronized registry entry. This can also show as an
error 1000 UserEnv. The TEMP folders may only
be 'deleteable' by rebooting the server, due to locked dat
files. Once removed the user can then logon, if you have
deleted their profile it will recreate as usual.

also, make it a habit of clearing 'stuck' profiles that do
not unload from the windows environment once a user logs
off, meaning, remove any User Profiles under the Users
Profile tab (after hours when everyone is logged out).
Profiles tend to ocasionally remain after a user logs out,
this is when using roaming profiles of course...

hope this helps.
