Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a terminal server that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You enable the Delete cache copies of roaming profiles Group Policy setting on the terminal server.

  • You configure a user account to load a terminal server roaming profile on the terminal server.

  • The Change password at the next logon option is enabled in the properties of the user account.

  • You create a terminal server session to the terminal server by using the user account.


In this scenario, the terminal server roaming profile is not loaded correctly. Additionally, some personal data and some application settings are lost.

Cause

This issue occurs because the User Profile service does not load the terminal server roaming profile correctly after the user account password is reset.

When the Delete cache copies of roaming profiles Group Policy setting is enabled, and when a user is prompted to change the user account password, the User Profile service loads a local temporary user profile. The User Profile service loads this user profile to perform the password reset operation. However, the profile changes to a combination of the local temporary profile and of the roaming profile after the user password is reset. Therefore, the terminal server roaming profile is not loaded correctly.
