Remote Desktop Login always creates a temporary profile

Just a quick fix for this as this happened to me today and is a fairly annoying problem

Resolution

  • Log into server as an Administrative User
  • Start > Run regedit
  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
  • Delete the profile which is failing usually has a .bak extension
  • Try logging in again
  • Success
