Patch rollout via WSUS causes creation of new local user profile

Migrated to WSUS on the same server as SUS. WSUS updates over 2000 W2Ksp4 +
about 50 XP workstations. It's an NT4 domain, in process of cleaning up DNS
in order to migrate to AD (we have 2 DNS zones, with almost all machines
using the new, simplified suffix, doc.nycnet). Since WSUS went online, when
patches are approved for install, about 2 or 3% of the workstations get hit
with the following problem: After the reboot, when the user logs in, the
existing local profile is ignored and a new local profile with Default User
settings is created. This profile usually picks up part of the new domain
suffix name (i.e, JSmith.doc). We've had to go through changes to re-instate
the good profile folder.

Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know the cause or have the
fix? Thanks in advance.

Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. invader@nospamforme.com Windows Vista General Discussion 1 11-01-2007 05:25 PM
