Hi -

Windows 2000 Server, SP4. When a new user (even one with Administrator
rights) tries to log on, a box pops up with the message "Windows cannot load
the user's profile. There is not enough space on the disk......". It will
create the profile folder, but each subseqent logon creates a new one with
..000, .001, etc. appended to it.
There is plenty of space on the C drive (about 4GB), which is where the
profiles live. We aren't using roaming profiles or folder redirection or
anything like that. I checked the size of the Registry in the System applet
and it's currently 17MB with a maximum size set to 90MB. Whether the account
is a domain one or local makes no difference.

I saw some other weird behavior: When I logged on with an account that had
this problem I would type "set" and see the profile path from a previously
logged on user. (Interestingly, that user also had this problem.)

Any other ideas about what could be causing this?

Thanks.

Sounds like the drive permissions are incorrect.

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

From your post I understand that you receive a popup with the message
"Windows cannot load the user's profile. There is not enough space on the
disk......" when logging on a Windows server 2000 SP4 machine. If I have
misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.

Based on my research I suggest you perform the following steps to narrow
down the issue.

Step 1: Please boot the system into Safe mode and check to see if the issue
persists.

To start in Safe mode, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Shut Down.
2. Click Restart, and then click OK.
3. As the computer restarts, press F8.
4. Select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking, and then press ENTER.

Step 2: Disabling Third-Party Services

For more detailed information please refer to the following article:

281770 How to perform clean-boot troubleshooting for Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;281770

If the issue still persists please provide me with a screenshot for the
exact error massage.

Taking a screen shot
-------------------

1. Press the Pr Scrn key once on the keyboard when the error message
appears.
2. Click Start, go to Run, enter MSPAINT in the open dialog box, and then
Click OK.
3. Use Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot to the canvas.
4. From the File menu, go to Save and save it as a JPG file.
5. Send the JPG file as an attachment to v-jasont(a)microsoft.com

Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Jason Tan

This is a very good start. I actually thought of using the Security
Templates to try and get the server back to the correct state. I was
concerned about which of the templates to use. What I didn't know was that
there is a default template that exists. So thanks.
