Hi friends I am facing a problem at my home computer. I had search for the solution on the net, I got also, but I am not able to implement successfully. The solution is
I can't repro this. I've tried on both HE and Pro and if the only thing you're doing is deleted user via the User control panel applet, I can't get it to hose. I even went so far as to use "control userpasswords2" on HE to delete a test account. No combination of add then deleting users via any MS standard tool is causing any problems. Unfortunately deleting the users out of the registry isn't a practical matter. I have a method that will correct a problem on HE when using "control userpassword2" in an attempt to change a user to power user status, but I have no idea if this will correct your issue. This is principally because it assumes that the registry structure is intact and that the only issue is with status bits that were incorrectly set. If the registry structure it self has become corrupted then manually correcting it will be virtually impossible unless you have a good structure to compare against. That stated, I'll give you the instructions for correcting a "control userpasswords2" hose of the HE SAM. WARNING!!!!! - This can hose your system unless you do things properly. If there is in fact structural damage in the registry all bets are off. Take a full system backup before proceeding otherwise you may cause SID related issues. If you're running EFS make sure you back up certificates. First thing is an admin class user with a functioning profile has to set update permissions on the HKLM\SAM branch all the way down. This will take multiple hits (two at least) since inheritance isn't set all the way down. Drill down to HKLM\SAM\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\Names. The Names branch has the user names referenced under the Users branch cross refed by ID (locate the ID in the Name\[name] and use that value to locate the profile under the Users branch. Drill into the Users\[reference] branch and you'll see two keys; one F and the other V. The problem lies on the V key, offset +4 (5th byte for those that are programming challenged). If you attempt to make user a power user on HE, this should be set to 0xd4, which oddly enough is the same on Pro disabled accounts. If you alter that byte to 0xbc (which is partially an indication of admin rights, but not completely) you can then go into the standard user control panel applet and set the user to limited account (which is what I suggest at this stage) for safety reasons. Now do a full system restart. You should now be able to log into the account. If you try to log into the account with out a full system restart the system will attempt profile recovery, which fortunately, fails since the account is limited. At this point, you should be able to use the users control panel applet to delete the user. Do *not* attempt to manually delete users via regedit. Do *not* stray from the script. If you see anything in the registry that differs from the above, then stop. If the above doesn't work, then you have serious issues beyond the scope of what I can handle without being hands on the keyboard. My suggestion still remains that you leave things as they are and work around the problem. Now I am able to navigate til v key for that account but confuse about how to modify binary value. The current value is very long, and multy line string. Here he has writen about offset +4 (5th byte what does it mean? Is it relevent for me? Or should I ignore it? Thanks, When you don't have any choice, you have a choice to work hard.
