Unlock RDS User Profile Disk (Network Profile)

dbeato

Had to fix this today to get users locked out of their profile with network user profiles with an RDS Server.

Updated a PowershellScript to match my use:

$UPDSharePath="\\server\PublicShare\Profiles"
$username="username
 
#Get's User SID
$strSID = (New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount($username)).Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]).value
 
#Creates UPD path String
$diskname=$UPDSharePath+"\UVHD-"+$strsid+".vhdx"
 
#Finds the disk and dismounts it
Get-DiskImage $diskname | Dismount-DiskImage

If the user can't connect still moving forward then recreate the user profile (Without renaming the User Profile Disk.

Go in the registry to the following key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Then find the SID of your user and rename the key to .old then have the user login again.

@dbeato Good thing to have. I just recently migrated to RDS with UPD. Have you checked out Sidder?

Yeah, Sidder just tells you the VHDX file location and the user but doesn't unmount it and you cannot copy from Sidder the path.

There is a github repo of it here
