#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Signed in with a temporary profile -- "You've been signed in with a temporary profile" Fix : Deal with a roaming profile that will not load Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-rec-profile-temp Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 45 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Roaming profiles or a session host. HOW TO UNDO IT The profile on the share is untouched by these steps. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
