Hi,

I have Server 2003 with 4 Windows SP2 computers. All with the latest patches. The problem i have is with one computer. In the applications event log i get this error message for any of the domain user accounts trying to log on to the computer. No roaming profiles are being used but i have some group policy's enabled.

Usernv Event ID:1505

windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

Detail-The system cannot find the file specified

It's been bothering me so much. I havent found a way to fix it. I already did flushdns, rejoined the domain.

Please Help!!!!

Rejoining the domain changed the machine's RID, now the user's GUID (combination of their SID & the machine's RID) are all invalid.

Put all of their user profile folder's in a backup directory so they're recreated during their next login. Then you can restore their files to their new profiles.

In the future never remove/rejoin a machine to a domain...it tends to make a mess.

This generally means that there is something wrong with the profile. If you rename the users folder and have them log on again, you should not receive this message

You said you have some group policy's enabled.. care to specify roughly what you have done..

As for never remove/rejoin a machien to a domain.. I have dont this many times without error.. if something does go wrong it probably indicated a problem somewhere else..

For the one account used for the remove/rejoin yes this is true...However the other accounts on the machine usually aren't so lucky.

Do they work? Yes...But they tend to login rather slow and things get worse depending on the complexity of the network (e.g. it's easy to miss, but it's there).
