Please wait for the User Profile Service

[Brave_heart]

so, i have a number of Hyper V Win2012R2 servers hosting both live VMs and replicated VMS.

All Vms are primarily win2012rs2 - some are win2008 but they are not important.

Some Vms are fine, both up, log in etc no probs.

Some VMs get stuck both on login and on shut down with Please wait for the User Profile Service.

it is a PITA!!

DNS is all fine, AD is all fine, pinging one of the 4 DCS all works happily.

The HyperVs themselves come and go down happily.

Any clues as to how to resolve this? it can take upwards of an hour to reboot a box!!

i have trawled the net and get all sorts of advice to try and do different things. i have even deleted the roaming profile to see if that helps but to no avail.

 

HELP!

Event Viewer - Administrative Events/Server Roles... Warnings/Errors?

 

Do these VMs have additional (3rd party) software installed on them?

Thanks MrWoberts - half term so forgive the tardy reply.

Have removed roaming profiles for the administrator and so far things do appear quicker.

Will monitor......
