User Profile Service
Ok, sorry for the confusion here. In the days of NT it was \Default, then with 2000, XP, 2003 it was \Default User, now we're back to \Default. I was curious why you were showing the Sharing tab security? Is it on a network drive? Also check the read-only bit isn't set on ntuser.dat
So I created the user in Active Directory on my Domain Controller. I am trying to RDP into one of my terminal servers running Windows Server 2016. None of my other users are having any issues with RDP sessions.
There is no NTUSER.DAT file, as the user is never able to successfully logon to Server.
Yes, it is troubling that the \default profile cannot be located. It may be a clue but difficult to say at this point.
I am really at a loss here, all my other domain users have no issues with RDP sessions, so not sure what is causing this new user to not be able to connect. I have restarted all my servers, etc.
Maybe the \default profile was moved to another location? A link to some C++ code that may help locate it.
How do I get the path to the default user's profile? | The Old New Thing (microsoft.com)
By default this one is checked.
