I'm trying to create a new local user in Windows 8.1 x64. This user will be used to host an IIS app pool and connect to a SQL Server instance. However, when I try to start the app pool or login with the user, the user profile service gives me an error saying the profile cannot be loaded.
There's no directory/folder created in C:\Users for that local user. And Windows Event viewer shows these errors:
Entry 1:
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.
Entry 2:
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.
DETAIL - Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.
I know this is a problem specific to Windows 8 and higher. But no one can seem to find a solution this problem.
I see the same set of problems here:
User profile service service failed the login. User Profile can not be loaded
Right, I did that, but the user created in this manner still cannot login. I get the same error. – abjbhat – 2014-05-06T04:44:33.713
