No roaming profile tile problem windows 8 no clear pattern of how and why.

Hi I have a fairly extensive network of windows pc 8

I noticed a strange problem which does not seem to follow any particular model.
When a new roaming user connects to a windows pc, 8 who was not already a profile they receive the message 'Hi' and the implementation of the etc pages once they see the new tiles page which is fine.
However sometimes a new user will register in the "Hi" is displayed and set up takes a lot of time and when it finishes the new user has only 2 tiles... Internet explore and tile office!  If the user logs on to another computer, they may or may not have the tiles appear... This suggests that it is a local problem in the users on the c: folder.
As I said this happens randomly with new users and this is quite annoying because it doesn't seem to be any idea why it does.
Is this a bug?

I found a way to fix it.

1 log in as a user to discover that no tiles are present
2. close the session
3 log in as administrator
4 open System
5. open user profiles
6 remove the user profile
7. close the session
8 open troubled as a user session
9. the tiles are back!

10. close the session

11. open a session as administrator of PC

12. open CMD as administrator

10. run sfc/scannow from the command prompt and set the PC settings store tiles.

The problem was when I used a 3rd third party tool called delprof2... I guess that the profiles were not removed correctly. Infact delprof2 corrupts the tiles from the local profile. This causes problems with the tiles does not not like laptop settings and store.

You may ask why use delprof2? Well well the reason why I used delprof2 is that there are in the region of 100 profiles to delete and just, that takes too much time on each PC using the system / profile section... I don't know any alternative.

So for correct (after execution of delprof2), it appears that you must first connect and see missing tiles then disconnect you and go as an administrator and delete the profile via the option of system profiles and then open a session as a troubled user...

I really want to do underground work for us, because I can see the benefits of a beautiful beautiful screen with all work related icons at a push of a button, but the amount of problems, I hit when an area is absolutely crazy... makes me want to go back to the Start button...  At least with the Start button, you can easily add shortcuts... Unlike the subway tiles it is almost impossible to customize metro layouts over a wide area without tools such as oblytile...
My conclusion is that it seems metro tiles are related to the local profile on the c: drive of each individual computer which is a little annoying when you have to hundreds of computers. It would be nice if metro settings have been configured on users roaming profile on the server.

I'm getting the impression that Windows 8 was never designed for a corporate network * DUHH * and the metro is simply to home computers / tablets / mobile phone (consumers).

Which is a shame.

But I'm not giving up on hope...!

  • Correct configuration of roaming profiles on a WIN NT Server?

    I'm trying to implement roaming profiles with a Windows NT 4.0 Server and a computer Win XP Pro. I created the account via the 'Users for domains Manager' tool, created a share named "Profiles" to the root of the c: / drive and has joint the XP computer to the domain. When I try to open a session, he said that the administrator group or the current user must have ownership of the folder, and that he "cannot find the local profile." I have granted 'Full control' to all groups, including administrators. I am able to log in with the account, but the changes are not saved when that I disconnect. It created a folder with the user name in the sharing, I put in place, but the error persists even when I delete the folder and start from scratch. The server is named "EVANSERVER" and has a local IP address of 10.0.1.37. The XP computer is named 'EVANSERVERWKSTN' and has an IP address of 10.0.1.38. Here are the current configuration of the user file directory and Home:

    USER: evan2 (evan2)

  • Home Premium and roaming profiles with WHS

    I want to my Home Premium installation to save my profile on and use my profile to my Windows Home Server.  When I go into account management to set my account so that the options are grayed out.
    Issues related to the:
    1. is the ability to configure roaming profiles available in home edition Premium?
    2. If they are, what I am doing wrong?
    3. If roaming profiles are not available, they should be for people with WHS.  Home Premium... Home Server... See the link?

    Hello ChiefTom,

    I'm sorry for the delay in answering your question.

    You are right. I read the wrong question and thought you want to store your roaming profile on the Windows Home Server. I apologize for the misinterpretation.

    However, to answer your question. On a stand-alone computer, be it a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can have a local profile.
    You must have a network server. She is also grayed out on my local computer, this option is not available.

    A profile stored locally is one that is only accessible from the local computer. A roaming profile is stored on a network server and can be accessed from any computer to which a user connects.

    Here's a thread on the Windows Home Server forum dealing with roaming profiles. Roaming profiles are not available in the Windows Home Server. I believe that the development team focuses on this feature. They give a kludgey solution that can help you.

  • Roaming profiles, Outlook, Windows 7, Server R2 2012 2016

    I am building a new network with server 2012, Windows 7 Pro clients running Office 2016.

    I have configured roaming profiles on the server and testing now with limited success.

    I started by dropping a small test file to the desktop, disconnected, connected to another machine, and here are the file. Great!

    I make a change to the file, log out and then log a new machine (where the test user is not connected previously on) and the file is there, Great!

    If I disconnect and reconnect the first machine, the file is still there but it does not show the changes I've done more recently, is not so great.

    The second part of the problem is that Outlook profiles seem NOT work completely.

    Following the suggestion by another post, I removed and reinstalled Office on a single machine, created an Outlook profile then disconnected.

    then turn it on again for another machine, everything seemed fine. I have created a signature on the second machine, disconnected, then back to the first. No signature :-(

    It seems to be is not quite compatible.

    Can someone tell me the areas that I should look at?

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site which is for the consumer to related issues.

  • Roaming profile issues Windows 7

    Lack of Windows 7, 64-bit systems.  Often we have users whose profiles roaming not loading.  We noticed that in their .v2 folder, there is a lock file.  If a person is not having problems, the locking file disappears when they log off.  However, sometimes the locking file doesn't disappear and does not load their roaming profile.
     
    Is there a registry entry that is not be displayed/hidden or is there a way to draw wrong why the locking file doesn't go away.

  • A problem with the Redirection of folders and roaming profiles - Adobe Flash file

    This thread is in relation to a thread started for the Google Chrome browser.  Admins also suggested I have create a post here.  The link to the bug can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=97512

    This is the first post on the forums of Chrome:

    Here students use Windows 7 with redirection folders and roaming profiles.

    When in Chrome (any version) and they try to attach a file to an e-mail or upload a file to a site, a 'Find a file' window appears.  When they try to locate the file on their desktop or document file, Chrome hangs for a minute then prompt a user to enter their credentials. Even with the correct credentials prompt says access denied.

    If a local user without a roaming profile or the folder redirection tries the same thing that everything works as should.

    This problem does not occur in Internet Explorer (all versions) or Firefox (all versions)

    The "Search a file" window that appears resembles that of Windows XP, not the other from Vista or Windows 7.

    I also believe that I have posted here before on this topic, but can't seem to find the problem.

    Basically, right now I tell students not to use Chrome to download or attach data.

    I also confirmed AppData folder redirection to be a default/limitation in Flash Player 11 plugin... but only for Google Chrome built-in version of Flash Player 11 (usually located in the Chrome installation folder).  The version of Adobe (usually located in the Adobe installation folder) do not have this problem for me.

    Fortunately, Chrome allows you to install the version of Adobe if you want. I have disabled the plugin provided with Google Chrome and Google Chrome Frame, and my users were able again to use my Flash application:

    1. Google Chrome: type chrome://plugins/ in the URL
      Google Chrome Frame for IE: enter gcf: topic: plugins in the URL
    2. Click "Détails" to expand the list of plugin
    3. Scroll down to Flash
    4. If you have only one version and it is located somewhere in a folder of Chrome, then disable it, close your browser, reopen it, visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and install the version of Adobe.
    5. If you have several versions, disable the version in the Chrome folder and try to use your Flash application again.

    It worked for me; your mileage may vary...

  • News on the problem of the CHC large files size growing from roaming profiles?

    Any news on the problem of large files CHC, increase in the size of Mount profiles?  Thank you.

    I talked to the product manager.  Here's what he said.

    This was addressed to our latest version.  CHC 4.0 changes the location of the documents stored locally so that they are no longer included when users synchronize their roaming profiles.  The CHC will even spend the previous to the new location files when users upgrade.

  • Efforts to control the size of the roaming profile Cache does not properly.

    We run a RDSH R2 2008 environment and we have set the maximum size of the Cache size to roaming profile for 26 GBS, but our roaming profile cache is never fall below designated size limit.

    We see evidence that lsasrv with actually deletes profiles that he scored as older and it will work four to five times, but the documentation suggests that it will continue to operate until the volume is less than the specified cache size, and our does not do that.

    We do not see anything to fix or adjust and find having to police manually servers to keep enough free space to accept connections.  If we don't keep our guard, users get connected with a local profile and the REO event will show that profile has not been charged because of insufficient disk space.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated, as we struggle with this one problem in a deployment by also wonderful to RDSH.

  • Server 2008, XP roaming profiles and "cannot create a file when that file already exists"...

    Hi all

    I'm working on a Server 2008 domain with XP SP3 clients.  The question is: create a new user, their profile is \\server\profiles\%username% [where %nom user % is their new username!].  Security on the profile folder is set so that the administrators have full access and the user has read & execute, list folder content, read and write access.

    The user is able to login ok there is no problem with roaming profiles [otherwise, they would get a message on with a temporary profile loading] which suggests, but when they disconnect they get a message saying that some files could not be created [it varies], followed by "cannot create a file when that file already exists".

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
