A Colleague wanted to log in to a almost newly installed Exchange 2010 server, but he couldn’t log in. I had no problems login in or out but new users couldn’t.
The error message was saying, The User Profile Service service failed to logon. User profile cannot be loaded and he couldn’t log on.
Its actually the second time I see this error in 2 weeks time now so I think its in order with a blog post.
It appears that when a new user profile is being create the default profile want to copy a *.sqm file from
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\Configuration1816_100.sqm to location
C:\Users\newuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\Configuration1816_100.sqm.
But it can’t because it doesn’t have access to that folder and so the profile creation fails.
Doooh
A lot of people have asked me lately if Lync Standard only use one processor?
The short answer: No, it can use multiple processors, so its not what it sounds like.
Full explanation, processor groups are a Windows Server Datacenter edition feature (see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/2008-dc.aspx under Dynamic Hardware Partitioning.
This is not meant to indicate in any way that Standard Edition will only work on a server with a single processor. Processor GROUPS and multiple processors are two different things, and the wording is a bit confusing. Hopefully the documentation regarding this will get updated soon.
Just some interesting trends….
I will let the stats talk, for this first picture.
But the most irritating thing is that Norway tops the list, that really bugs me because they are way ahead of us in Sweden thanks to those “#¤#!#(E% operators wont get their….
But I might not know how to read the stats, BUT all the Scandinavian country’s are represented on the top 10 list…
Since there is no good way of automatically add contacts to users in Lync anymore.
A gentleman named Jeff Guillet has spent some time to come up with a solution.
