  1. Temporary Profiles on a Domain


    We are experiencing an increasing issue where users are logging into their computers with temporary profiles. Logging off and back on sometimes multiple times or restarting the computer resolves the issue for some users temporarily, but this has become a recurring problem.The steps we've taken to address this include:Modifying the registry to remove .bak profiles.Reverting the profile path to the original user directory.Removing both TEMP and affected profiles, which led to data loss, despite backups being made.We have already checked AD for users profile paths and this all seems correctSpec

  2. Temporary Profile on Logon

    Hi Elaine,

    Being signed in with a temporary profile may occur if the user account is not loaded correctly or has been removed from the system. For us to properly assist you in rectifying this unusual behavior, supply more information by answering these questions:

    • Is your PC connected to a domain?
    • Were you able to load the same profile on your computer before using the new hard drive?
    • What exactly is being logged in as "temporary profile"? Is it another user account on your computer?
    • Aside from using the new hard drive, have you made any recent changes to your device prior to this happening?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Your reply is greatly appreciated.

    Temporary Profiles on a Domain

    Migrate Locale Profile to Domain

    I removed my reply because watching those instructions on TechNet I started wondering if they really work with Windows 10.

    Anyway, whatever you try create first a dummy profile, customize it a bit and move it to domain. If everything works, you can then move real profiles.
