    Domain workstations user profiles are getting deleted.


    The environment here consists of a Windows Server 2012 R2 as the domain controller and about forty workstation all running Windows 10. On only a hand full of workstations, we occasionally about once a month experience an issue where all the user profiles get deleted. When the user signs in, it creates a brand new profile. All the previous profiles are completely gone with no trace. There is not a Windows.000 or any other copies. The registry profilelist doesn't show any other profiles either. I do keep my workstations backed up so I've been able to restore them, but it's still too much prod

  2. Domain user getting a temporary profile when logging on a workstation

    One of the domain user is getting logged onto a temporary profile on any workstation that they log onto. I have checked the registry and removed the corrupted user profile. Ensured that the user profile was deleted. Also performed a sfc and dism. DISM fails
    when you do a scan or a restore health (error code 1223)

    Inspite of all these, it loads a temporary profile. When I checked the event logs. there were logs saying that it can find the local profile on the workstation and hence loading a temporary profile.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    script to delete users profile

    A few more questions that may be asked...

    1. Are these domain user profiles on the PC or local users?
    2. Do you need logging of success/failure/names of deleted profiles, etc. and, if so, seperate logs or a combined one?
    3. What filepath to use for any log(s)?
