Default The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded

'The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be
loaded. - Vista Forums' (http://tinyurl.com/yt7off)



Unfortunately the tutorial shows how to delete or rename an existing
'problem' profile, but does not offer a solution when there is no
profile.
In my situation, a Vista computer is within a domain. Two users had
accounts on this computer and are able to log in and use it. Another
user, an existing user in the domain but one who never used this
particular machine, tried to log in. Vista accepted the credentials and
appeared to be creating an account (what I mean here is that it took few
minutes for it to respond upon accepting the user credentials) and then
showed the dreaded message as described above. Upon logging in with one
of the existing accounts with admin privileges, tried to look both in
System Properties - User Profiles as well as into the Registry under the
mentioned key, and there is neither Profile not SID in the Registry for
this new user. So - there is nothing to delete.

The server running Active Directory / DNS / DHCP etc. is accessible and
everything else seem to be working while using one of the two existing
accounts.

Suggestions and comments welcome... in the other words, please help.
Thanks.
