The only other thing I can think of that might cause you to run into this problem is if indeed your file names are multiple hundreds of characters long — or if the combination of the file folders and the file name exceeds something like or characters long.

I have the same problem. You misread the original post: the error is not "too long filename", it is "no permission" -- AND, we're dealing with files that do not even exist! I just set up SteadyState on my senior-citizen dad's computer. Same thing: he can't login, because it complains that various random! The filename is different every time. And they are names I've never heard of, with dates in the name, etc.
If that is not enough to help you, I will attempt to write down some of the names next time I have access to his computer. Eventually, the only way I could get round the problem was log back in as administrator, go to Control Panel, Users.
Delete the user including files. Then set up the user name again. Not the best cure but it worked for me. In my case, I had a few misc "surprise" files in the root of Joe. And after removing MB of extra stuff from the profile, the user is able to start up reasonably quickly. Today I wrote an easy skript, ok, maybe more an one-liner BTW sorry for my poor english. EDIT: The reason was the charset of the script. We had similar problems. If a machine is improperly shut down power outage etc , the temporary users account could remain active causing this login error.
We resolved this issue with a bat file that simply removes the temporary users folder at start up. This batch file is run from gpedit. However, when I do, the computer "hangs" at the "Running logoff scripts" dialog box during the logoff process. Is there anyway around this? I have no problems running it in either logoff or startup.
I assume you didn't include the " and that you changed the word user for your users actual name. I chose to run it at startup because we have some users that will not properly shut the system down. They were just turning the power strip off and that allowed them to bypass any shut down scripts. We are having the same issue and it is very annoying to have to go to the different branches to clean out the file. I am looking for a script or something that can run to clean this out since Steady State is unstable when it comes to this.
I've had this same issue and it's bothered me for a long time. I had this happening on a daily basis. The suggestions about logout scripts don't work. Trying to find a website that causes this was impossible. I did find a solution and it has worked now for about 6 months for me with no problems. It is hard to find because most things on the site I'm about to give you reference 2. Here is the link to 2. Talk about confusing Does anything "just work" anymore?
Other symptoms of this is if the same user logs in again he or she gets a new profile with a name like username. I actually had some hope for this problem when I read this so I downloaded it and tried Steady State 2. The only thing I can't remember is the order I installed this new service.
Installed the UPHClean 2. I did this for my testing and it worked. When I made a production quality image I installed windows from scratch. After running this image for about 6 months I haven't had any of those file name too long messages. I have public computers spread across a mile radius OKKKK that would be insane for me and probably most others. Please let me know if this works for you! Well, I've tried it at one of our branches over the weekend and I am still getting reports of the error in BeGr's original post.
I tried the logoff script and also had the PC hang for 10 minutes on logout. One comment to Rob Elmer and those of you trying to clear the cache from the unlocked profile -- be sure to have your browser pointed to about:blank before you delete the files from tools delete browsing history.
Otherwise, if you have a page or tab open to a site that continually updates graphics on the page like Everett Library's home page does , the temp files fill up again before you have time to close the browser. I will update all 15 PCs at the one library branch again, clearing the temp files like I just described. Just to be sure I have done it! Will check back later. Chris, the lab isn't using anything but the mandatory profiles.
We had thought about moving to something like Deep Freeze, but at this point, the only system to keep things "default" is simply using the read only mandatory profile. The biggest thing to deal with in the lab are minor things like kids changing wallpaper, deleting icons, etc.
Since they are supervised, there isn't really as much of a need for a bigger guns. Just something to keep the interface consistent on the machines so the lab teacher can teach and have everyone see the same things. The mandatory profile actually did a good job with that until that error started cropping up. The biggest issue is that when it occues, the mandatory profile doesn't load and the student gets a desktop that doesn't match what the teacher is teaching with.
I had thought about looking into the UHCS, but I'd rather not introduce another complication into the mix if the rebooting prevents the problem. Good luck with it, and thanks for your help! Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Resources for IT Professionals.
