"Default User Profile" Missing

[mcsepit]

Noticed on one of the workstations - the "Default User" profile is missing.

How do I recover?

Enable hidden folders and look again.

Hidden folders are visible. Default User missing

What happens when you create a new user account?

I created a local account today - however I have not logged into the
workstation with this account. (workstation is in production)

This is a replacement workstation (profiles from the old workstation have
been copied to the new one) I suspect that this is what caused the issue, the
account may have been deleted or overwritten.

Is there a way to re-create the "Default User" account?

 

[Leonard Grey]

I'm still waiting to learn what happens when you create a new user
account on the affected computer.

I will test this AM

Just copy the Default User folder from another machine.

I was not sure that it was that easy!
