Error Numbers Associated with Inaccessible Roaming Profiles

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

If you log on to a computer running Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0 in a domain with roaming profiles configured, the following error message is displayed:

Your roaming profile is not available, the operating system is
attempting to log you on with your local profile. <error #>

The update of your roaming profile failed. Please contact your Network
Administrator. <error #>

   Event ID: 1000
   Source:   Userenv
   Description: Your roaming profile is not available, the operating system
   is attempting to log you on with your local profile. (error #) 

   You do not have permission to access your central profile located at
   \\Server\Share\%UserName%. The operating system is attempting to log you
   on with your local profile. Please contact you Network Administrator. 

CAUSE

For error 2, the customer may be using a mandatory profile and the system cannot find the file specified, or the default user profile may have been deleted.

For error 32, the problem is that the profile is being accessed by another process. A possible cause is that the user is already logged on with the same account at another computer.

For error 53, the error is that the network path is not found.

For error 67, the error is that the network name could not be found. This could occur if the syntax in the user's profile path is incorrect.

For error 71, the problem is that the server where the profile is stored will not permit another connection.

For error 1385, the problem is that the user does not have the user right to "Access this machine from network." This usually occurs if an administrator has removed the everyone group from this right.

RESOLUTION

For error 2, verify that the location of the mandatory profile is the same as the location referenced in the user's profile path, and that it is named Ntuser.man, or restore or re-create a default user profile for the computer.

For error 32, log the other process off.

For error 53, it could be a problem of name resolution or network connectivity. Resolve these issues appropriately.

For error 67, verify that the path listed matches the location of the share and directory name where the profile is stored.

For error 71, verify that the server has the necessary number of licenses and that it is a retail version of NT.

For error 1385, add the appropriate user or group to this list.
