Remote Desktop Services – cannot create local profile
Problem
When you login to your server 2008 remote desktop services server. You see the error.
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
Event ID 1511. I have also seen this when users try to use the old terminal server profiles within the new V2 system in server 2008r2 remote dekstop services.

Open Regedit and browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
Then locate the user who is having an issue and simply delete the ky
