I've removed the profiles, both the files in c:\users and the reg. at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
I then created a brand new account, and tried it, still given a temp profile. I've added the user to Domain Admins, just for testing purposes, and did the same for the test user before the initial logon. I'm getting several related errors in the registry, User Profile Service 1508, 1515, and 1511. I've chased down several threads, many of which are for Server 2003 TS servers. Many mention memory issues, but this is a 2012 server with 64 GB of RAM.
One thing to be aware of is that this is a AD server. The long term solution is to use a different RDS Server altogether, this is more of a proof of concept for their remote users with tablets getting access to company files. Some proof of concept it's turning out to be. Anyway, I recently loaded KB2896328 to try and fix it, and will reboot it at 10 pm ET and see if it still has the issue. This is my latest attempt to troubleshoot, and I will report back this evening when it's been rebooted and attempted again. Oh, also, I've tried logging on locally using the same accounts after the profiles were cleared, still no joy.
I was hoping to get some other ideas in advance in case this doesn't resolve it, as I don't really expect it to. One final note, the server is fully updated, I just spent a good while going through all the updates to ensure the Update Rollups have all been installed. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
