Access Denied Roaming Profile



By default the roaming profiles folders for users are only allowed access from the SYSTEM and the user themselves. This can be prevented in Group Policy ahead before the folder is created, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, User Profiles, Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles.


This problem occurs because of a change that was made in Windows 10, version 1803. This change inadvertently caused folders that are usually excluded from roaming to be synchronized by roaming user profiles when you log on or log off.




Access Denied Roaming Profile




Patrick do you tell me what is and purpose of roaming profiles. What does mean when you say roaming profiles. Do you mean roaming profiles store my files and folders on server intend on my local pc or laptop


I have setup a Citrix 7.9 XA/XD Site using Netscaler vpx 11 and Storefront 3.6 and everything is working so far except I am having a lot of trouble getting UPM to work for roaming profiles. My environment is all Windows Server 2012 and I have a number of the servers setup as shared desktops which are load balanced.


Everytime I post a request for Dropbox to start supporting Roaming Profiles on Windows 7/8 the message seems to get removed by a moderator. But when I search, there are alot of users asking for this. I would urge Dropbox to consider supporting roaming profiles as other solutions already are. And it is only a matter of time that all non mac users will abandon this app when it becomes a problem. I am already seeing clients switching to google drive and microsofts version. I think dropbox is a better system, but it has to stay current and advance with the times. In the era of virtualized workstations, pcoip, and smaller companies harnessing the power of roaming profiles, it would be suicide to ignore.


Since Dropbox installs to the folder path %APPDATA%\Dropbox, roaming profiles will cause Windows to mark the Dropbox database files as offline files, sending them back to the server. When this happens, the files are effectively unavailable, causing the Dropbox client to unlink.


Just recently my computer started having a notification saying that my roaming profile was not synchronizing. I have not changed anything on my computer other than Windows Updates. Any ideas how to fix this. Thank you.

You can let Microsoft Windows users in your organization create a single Chrome Browser profile and reuse it on each computer they need for work or school. To allow roaming profiles, you turn on Roaming User Profiles for these users.


Note: If setting the RoamingProfileLocation policy, do not set either the UserDataDir or the DiskCacheDir policy to the same directory. Doing so may cause the the local profiles to interfere with roaming profiles and voids the benefits of the feature.


If the user accidentally deletes or corrupts the Roaming User Profiles file profile.pb, Chrome Browser will not lose the local Chrome profile data. But any profile changes the user makes afterwards will not synchronize to the roaming profile.


For example, a user might run Chrome on machine A and machine B at the same time. When the user makes a profile change on machine A, the roaming profile gets updated. But Chrome does not automatically sync the change to the profile on machine B. So if the user makes a different change to their profile on machine B, the roaming profile gets updated with that change, and the first change get overwritten.


If your organization uses folder redirection for the folder containing profile.pb, then a user can't start a Chrome session on more than one machine at a time. Roaming User Profiles depends on creating and locking a file profile.pb for each session. If you use folder redirection for %APPDATA%/Google/Chrome (or for the folder you specified in the RoamingProfileLocation policy), then each Chrome session for the user will try to access the same profile.pb file. The user will be unable to start a second Chrome session on another machine until they close the session on the first machine.


When the Citrix User Profile Manager service is running on the server, if the users do not have a local profile on the machine or a roaming profile in the domain, the following error message is displayed when browsing the local drives.


In the case that I came across, the users roaming profile NTUSER.dat file was missing permissions for the user themselves. A quick remove inheritence, copy existing permissions, reinherit permissions from above and the error was banished.


Many errors related to user profiles result in the user getting a temporary profile instead of the regular local or roaming profile. I have written about possible causes for that here. In addition to that, there is an entirely different category of errors that occur when even a temporary profile cannot be created. This article describes likely causes.


I had the user profile issue and did the regedit fix. This fixed the issue for the user profile that was not able to be accessed but then I lost my 2nd admin user profile. I went into the regedit and it is still listed but not showing up on boot up. what can I do to get it back?


Thanks a million times or infinity and beyond times. This solved my problem with Windows 10 pro as well. I could create new users but could not login. It was a corrupted or most probably a stupid file in the profile that denied access to cause the failure. I will not look for that file and delete it and see if I can use the original default user profile again.


after installing the Windows 10 on my PC (most recent build incuding the latest updates), Windows is unable to load the roaming profile from our NetApp 8.2.4P1 7-mode filer. The eventlog reports the following error:


Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.


Then the userprofile loads fine from the NetApp. However, changing this setting introduces issues accessing the NetLogon folder on our domain controllers. The domain controller reports 'Access Denied'. So that's not an option also.


For optimum performance, users connecting to Citrix in a particular datacenter should retrieve their roaming profiles from a file server in the same datacenter. If you have Citrix in multiple datacenters, then you will need file servers in each datacenter.


Thanks Carl,You always have the best solutions out there. I do have a question regarding server 2012 R2 and the pinned taskbar items not roaming. Do you know where I can have that included in the UPM profile management?


Per suggestion from our domain admins, we have dis and re-enabled his AD account, moved it from OU to OU and back again; I deleted his roaming profile to enable creation of a fresh one, ensured "use as current user" in Horizon client is not enabled. We have entitled him directly to his main pool in case it was a nested security group issue, had him try HTML over PCOIP. All to no avail.


On physical workstations we use local, not roaming profiles and no folder redirects. And we don't use FSLogic. These are linked clone machines set to delete on sign out, the machines don't persist. It acts like the user has a stuck session somewhere, but Horizon doesn't report it.


wdt_ID Brief Description of Issue Brief Description of Fix Applicable Product Versions Affected (if known) Link to supplemental Support Article(s) 1 A bug in Profile Management 5.7 causes "userProfileManager.exe" to consume high memory. Disable Active Writeback for Registry or else upgrade to Profile Management 5.8 which contains the fix. Citrix Profile Management 5.7. 2 The Start Menu can become unresponsive after several logons and logoffs on Windows Server 2016 RTM/Windows 10 RS1 when used with Profile Management. Upgrade to Windows 10 build 1703 (Creators Update/Redstone 2). Windows 10 and Server 2016 build 1607. 3 Start Menu icons are not saving within the user profile. You must add directories and files to the "Directories to Synchronize" and "Files to Synchronize" policy settings. 4 When a hyperlink is clicked within Outlook users are asked "How do you want to open this type of link (http)?". You must configure on a reference machine Internet Explorer to be the default program for HTTP/HTTPS, export the default associations and apply them to all sessions via Group Policy. 5 Occasionally with "Delete locally cached profiles on logoff" configured NTUSER.DAT cannot be deleted. This can occur when using Windows 10 Redstone or Windows Server 2016. Upgrade to Profile Management 5.7 which contains the fix. For workarounds, enable a delay before deleting the profile which may help to give whichever process is using NTUSER.DAT time to release any locks. Setting a value higher than 40 seconds is highly recommended. Alternatively you could disable the deletion of cached profiles on logoff if you did not need it. Citrix Profile Management 5.2. 6 Users may experience profile corruption, slow logons or unexpected behaviour if using profiles from differing Windows versions as Roaming or UPM profiles. The use of profiles across different versions of OS is not supported by Microsoft and may cause undesirable behaviour. It is therefore recommended that profiles covering different Operating Systems are maintained separately and not used across versions. For example, machines running an OS that expect a v4 profile should not receive a v2 profile from Citrix Profile Management and so on. On the other hand Windows 7 profiles are compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2 just as Windows 8 profiles are compatible with Windws Server 2012 for example. 7 File Type Associations fail to roam on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 using Citrix Profile Management. Upgrade to Profile Management 5.8. If you cannot upgrade yet, a workaround is to delete "Speech_OneCore=" from the UPM exclusion list (you are including it for synchronisation) and add "TileDataLayer" to the "Folders to mirror" policy setting. Citrix Profile Management 5.7. 8 The default browser fails to roam on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 using Citrix Profile Management 5.7. Upgrade to Profile Management 5.8. Citrix Profile Management 5.7. 9 Citrix Profile Management (UserProfileManager.exe) may crash every 7 days on 32-bit Windows machines. Upgrade to UPM 7.15 or as a workaround disable CEIP or contact Citrix for a private fix. 10 Ntuser.dat is not copied to the profile store after logging off a Windows 10 VDA. CUPM logs show "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Citrix have released a private fix for this issue which causes Profile Management to retry copying ntuser.dat back to the store if the file is in use the first time. A fix is also part of Profile Management 7.16.
