When a regular user logs onto the machine, the "Applying
Personal Settings" box comes up, then disappears and all I
get is a blank desktop. I have seen this on a couple of
different machines lately. All my machines are "standard"
loads, and I have never had this problem before. Not even
happening to the same user.
I've actually seen it mostly on laptops. Running W2k sp3.
I have found a fix to it, but I'm wondering what is
causing the problem in the first place so I can prevent
it. All machines are part of an Active Directory org
pretty locked down. But like I said, I dont' see it
everywhere. The machine I'm describing below is a new
Latitude C840 from Dell fresh out of the box plus added
software.
Software installed on machine:
3com 56K. v.90 Mini pci modem
ACDSee 5.0 Powerpack
Adobe Acrobat 5.0
AnswerWorks Runtime
AT&T Global Network Client
ATI Control Panel
ATI Display Driver Utilities
Autocad 2002
LiveUpdate 1.80 for Symantec
Lotus Notes
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 sp1
Microsoft Office XP Professional
Microsoft Project Professional 2002
NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP Display Drivers
Symantec Antivirus Client
Voloview Express
WebFldrs (Autocad related)
WinRAR archiver
To fix it I reapplied the basic workstation template, and
had to remove and replace the security settings on the
Default User Profile and the All Users profile back to the
orignal, and force it down on the subdirectories. Reboot
then the user can log in just fine.
But, what I'm wondering is what is hosing the NTFS
security settings?
