ReconcileFile: Unable to open temporary file

[Guest]

Hi there. I'm seeing this error ReconcileFile: "Unable to open temporary
file" in userenv.log on a number of our Terminal Servers running Citrix
Presentation Server 4.0 for a number of different users.

I've done some looking around but all my searches just return other people's
posts of userenv.log. Is there any way to tell what folder it's trying to
open ?

You could try running a sysinternal executable named FileMon and check out
any errors it reports. I use this tool for just such problems as this.

I ran filemon and the results, to me at least, or confusing. I see one
ACCESS DENIED in the filemon log :

Settings\mYaCCOUNT SUCCESS Attributes: D

23946 11:02:36 AM winlogon.exe:744 OPEN C:\Documents and
Settings\mYaCCOUNT\prfBF.tmp ACCESS DENIED mYdOMAIN\mYaCCOUNT


So, it looks like the Profile Reconciliation is trying to create this file,
and to me, it looks like it has. Odd.

Any suggestions ?

Well you could temp provide the folder r/w access to see if that it actually
works. Can't give you why the app does this.

That's tough because it's a roaming profile, so it actually gets created
only when I log on. The permissions on the Roaming Profile location are
Administrators(on the server storing the roaming profile) FC, mYaCCOUNT FC,
and SYSTEM FC.

Looking at the filemon results, the ACCESS DENIED is recieved by
winlogon.exe, which runs as SYSTEM when on log on to the Terminal Server.
SYSTEM already should have access.
