Hi,

I have a 2008 R2 terminal server environment.

I would like to use mandatory profiles to customise the start menu and remove powershell/server admin from the users taskbar.

I have followed Minas's Mastering Windows Server 2008 R2 guide and also this youtube ( clip which are fairly similar.

I know that the MS prefered method envolves sysprepping so you can edit the default profile and use the elusive copy to button.

The only difference to the clip is that I want to specify the profile path on the user account rather than by GPO (so I can have 1 profile for some users and another for another group).

When the user logs in I am always getting a temp profile, the only change I have made is to change the NTFS ownership of the folder as the event log mentions this when not loading the profile.

Now when i log in as the user I get the following event log trail... I'm a bit stuck at the moment. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards.

The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> failed a critical notification event.



Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, and that your network is functioning correctly.
