The .v2 must be added because Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 make use of the .v2 type profiles. (Like Windows 7 and 2008 R2)

these are the profile extensions right?
Windows 10: v5
Windows 8.1,Windows Server 2012 R2: v4
Windows 8,Windows Server 2012: v3
Windows 7,Windows Server 2008 R2: v2
Windows Vista,Windows Server 2008: v1

Hi Bart,

Don’t forget to include the IE11 registry keys and (maybe) the profile files in the mandatory profile.

Thanks for your great and helpfull blog.
I got one issue, when i make a mandatory profile this way and we install Internet Explorer 11 after wards it wont start. It will only run As administrator
have you ever seen it? Is there something i did wrong? I cant find out why its not working.

Hey buddy,

If you delete the AppdataLocal directory, keep in mind you might get into trouble if you want to create specific File Associations for your Mandatory User.

These are normally stored in the registry, but also in the file UsrClass.dat which resides in the LocalMicrosoftWindows folder.

Grtz, from !vent 😉

In reply to Marian.

I used this guide and got similar issues. Event log showed the warning message on user’s log off 4006: The Windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name: . Command line parameters: C:Windowssystem32userinit.exe.

Fixed it by loading hive of NTUSER.MAN again and changing permissions for that hive in Advanced to replace it for all child entries.
Authenticated Users permissions were not set on many subentries, that caused this problem.
