How do I create a test user who will log on with a temporary profile?
We want to show others how to fix a profile when an RD user with a roaming profile and folder redirection is logged on with a temporary profile: delete the SID.bak registry key from the ProfileList. I figure full hands on is the best way for the training to take, since this isn't a problem we see every day, but often enough that we want to be able to show the problem and the fix.
So I created a test user, logged on as the test user, and logged off (I did not just disconnect). Then I logged on as admin, and added .bak to the test user's registry key. When I log in again as the test user, it's still normal. I gather there is more to this than meets the eye; that when there is no registry key, other housekeeping resets something perhaps?
