Ucs 3.1 - new service profile template issues, evaluating association with server.

I have a mixed bag of UCS servers. I have some B200M3s but I recently started adding capacity to my system with the purchase of some B200M4s. The M3s are running 2.2(4b) but I want my B200M4s running the newest firmware (3.1(3b)B) so to accomplish this, I made a new Service Profile Template to create Service Profiles and I created a new firmware policy for that Service Profile Template. I plan on upgrading the B200M3s as well, however the maintenance window to do so won't come up for another two months for the B200M3s as they are still in production use.

In an effort to try and add some additional layers of automation. I went ahead and created a Server Pool Policy and a Server Pool Policy Qualification as well as a new Server Pool for the additional B200M4s.

Server Pool Policy Qualification: Server PID Qualification UCSB-B200-M4

Server Pool for B200M4s: Applied the Server Pool Policy Qualification from above. At this point, the two new B200M4s got automatically associated with the new Server Pool. I see them in the Server Pool now.

Server Pool Policy: Target Pool is the B200M4 pool created above and the Qualification is the Qualification listed above.

I built a duplicate Service Template Profile for the new B200M4s that the pool assignment is set to the new B200M4Pool and the Server Pool Qualification is set to the B200M4 qualification listed above.

Here is where the problem kicks in: I go to create the new Service Profile from the modified template and the Service Profile creation gets stuck at about 80% and stalls at step 21. The specific step has tried reruning several times. The name of the step is "Configure Evaluate Association" and the description is "Evaluate association with server (FSM-Stage:sam:dme:LsServerConfigure:EvaluateAssociation". It can't seem to get past this stage. I think there is something wrong with my understanding of the Association of the Server Pool step. Any ideas where I am tripping myself up?

The User Profile Service service failed the sign in. User profile cannot be loaded

Why the user profile cannot be loaded

The error could be caused by the following reasons:

• Corrupted default profile
• Corrupted or nonexistent NTUSER.DAT file under the default profile
• Inconsistent NTFS permissions on the default profile

A bad Windows update, OS partition resizing, or a system restore could lead to the aforementioned situations. As you can see, this error usually occurs when there is a problem with the default profile. The default profile acts like a template for all new users created on the system. The default profile problems only affect the new user accounts; users who already have their profile directory created inside C:\Users are not affected by this error.

Checking the ACL of the default profile directory using PowerShell

When a new user logs in for the first time, these permissions allow the creation of the profile directory using the default profile template. Without sufficient permissions, Windows will log event ID 1509 in the Application log with the following message:

Windows cannot copy file C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT to location C:\Users\Username\NTUSER.DAT. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

DETAIL - Access is denied.

Windows cannot copy the NTUSER.DAT file from the default profile to the new user profile.

This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.

When permissions are correct but the NTUSER.DAT file doesn't exist inside the default directory, the user profile service will log event ID 1500 with the following message:

Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, and that your network is functioning correctly.

DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.

Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network and that your network is functioning correctly

When the NTUSER.DAT file inside the default profile is corrupt, you will see event ID 1508 with the following message:

Windows was unable to load the registry. This problem is often caused by insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.

DETAIL - The system has attempted to load or restore a file into the registry, but the specified file is not in a registry file format for C:\Users\Username\ntuser.dat

The system has attempted to load or restore a file into the registry but the specified file is not in a registry file format for ntuser.dat

When such events are logged, you will see a User Profile Service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded on the login screen. Now that you understand why this error occurs, let's discuss how to fix it.

Try restarting your computer before attempting further repairs, because problems sometimes go away with a simple restart. If the error persists, try the following:

• Log in with an existing admin user. As mentioned above, users who already have a user profile directory are not affected by this error. If you can't even log in with the current admin account, enable the built-in administrator account . Once enabled, log in using the built-in administrator account, and follow the remaining steps.
• Open the Event Viewer and try to locate any errors or warning events about the User Profile Service or User Profile General source. The most relevant event IDs to look for are 1500, 1508, and 1509.
• If the event logs indicate that the NTUSER.DAT file does not exist or is corrupt, you can copy it from C:\Users\Public . If this does not resolve the error, try the next step.
• Delete the contents of the faulty default profile directory and copy it from a working computer running the same Windows version and language. If the error is still not resolved, try the next step.

Setting the correct permissions on the default profile directory using PowerShell

If the above steps didn't solve your problem with the default user profile, you can run an in-place upgrade to rebuild a new default profile for yourself. Doing so will not affect your files and apps, but to be on the safe side, I recommend backing up your data before you proceed. You might also want to temporarily disable your antivirus program to avoid any interference during the upgrade process. To run the in-place upgrade, follow these steps:

• First, you need to rename (or delete) the current default profile, which is causing the problem.
• Next, download the media creation tool for your Windows version: Windows 10 , Windows 11

Running an in place upgrade using the Windows installation disk

• Run the downloaded media creation tool with administrator privileges.

Upgrade this PC now option in the Media creation tool

Keep personal files and apps option in the Media creation tool

Viewing the newly created default profile

You can now log in with a new user without any errors. That's it; you successfully resolved the User Profile Service failed the sign-in. User profiles cannot be loaded error. Don't forget to disable the built-in administrator account if you enabled it.

“If the event logs indicate that the NTUSER.DAT file does not exist or is corrupt, you can copy it from C:\Users\Public”

C:\Users\Public\NTUSER.DAT does not exist.

If it doesn’t exist on your local computer, you could copy it from a remote.

If it doesn’t work, or you do not have another computer to copy from, in-place upgrade will surely help you.

Sometimes just loading and unloading the NTUSER.DAT file can help.

> reg load HKU\Default C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT The operation completed successfully. > reg unload HKU\Default The operation completed successfully.

I believe reg.exe has some sort of corruption repair capability. Obviously, this will fail if the file is so corrupted that mounting fails.

I never tried it but I will definitely give it a try. Thank you for the tip Andrew.

This error also caused if you delete NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users and NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE from “Users” group of “Local Users and Groups console”.

I can’t log in at all… it does not give me any other options to log in to fix the issue. I’m stuck on the log in page. how do i get in to fix this?

You can enable the built-in administrator account using offline method and try logging in with that. Read this post: https://4sysops.com/archives/offline-enable-the-windows-8-built-in-administrator-account/

user profile path and files not showing hku profile list section

pro tip : you can easily do this by holding shift and then restart the computer.. you going to the recovery options press “troubleshoot” and reset the computer… choose the option “keep files” so you can keep the files and it will reset the system easily and it will reinstall all windows files…. thats it you just fix it easily

Yeah, it could also work but you need to reinstall all your apps later on. Doing an in-place upgrade will preserve your apps.

copying NTUSER.DAT from remote pc fixed the problem.

Good morning-i am relaxing the desktop with a new desktop. If a windows delete is done on the old desktop, does that delete the hard drive? If yes, then it would be safe to pass the old one on?

In my company I’ve met that that problem on a domain computer. The problem has been solved by copying the hidden folder “Default” from an other working computer.

Very useful, thank you. In my case, copying the default profile directory from another server solved my problem.

Glad it worked for you👍

The User profile service failed the sign on multiple servers

I'm having an issue getting a “ The User profile service failed the sign on” on multiple servers (2022) on multiple domains (same Network)

Config- 2 Hyperv hosts, 2 Domains A and B . Hyperv 1 has 2 vms  one from damian a and domain B, and hypev2 has 2 VMs one from A and one from B. The hyperv hosts are part of domain A.

First noticed trouble loging into one of the servers on domain B with an admin account. After that tried all my serves and have same problem. Only account I can login with is the actual administrator account. 

I even tried restoring the NTUSER DAT files from to the VM domain B on HYPERV1 from a few months ago but it did not help. 

Whats strange also is on the ser ther profile list lists one as “Account unknown" and the direcrtory is gone from the user directory. On one of the domains I deleted the profle listing thinking it would create but didnt help.

The fact that it effected both domains and all servers, would that indicate virus??

user prof list.PNG

What changes were made within the last 14 days on both domains?

Use local admin credentials on the hosts to log on does it work?

FYI: Hosts should not be on the guest's domain.

A service profile defines a single server and its storage and networking characteristics. You can create a service profile for Cisco UCS Manager and UCS Mini. When a service profile is deployed to a server, UCS Manager automatically configures the server, adapters, fabric extenders, and fabric interconnects to match the configuration specified in the service profile.

A service profile includes four types of information:

Server definition : Defines the resources (e.g. a specific server or a blade inserted to a specific chassis) that are required to apply to the profile.

Identity information : Includes the UUID, MAC address for each virtual NIC (vNIC), and WWN specifications for each HBA.

Firmware revision specifications : Used when a certain tested firmware revision is required to be installed or for some other reason a specific firmware is used.

Connectivity definition : Configures network adapters, fabric extenders, and parent interconnects, however this information is abstract as it does not include the details of how each network component is configured.

The UCS system provides two types of service profiles: Service profiles that inherit server identity and service profiles that override server identity.

This type of service profile provides the maximum amount of flexibility and control. This profile allows you to override the identity values that are on the server at the time of association and use the resource pools and policies set up in Cisco UCS Manager to automate some administration tasks.

You can disassociate this service profile from one server, then associate it with another server. This re-association can be done either manually or through an automated server pool policy. The burned-in settings, such as UUID and MAC address on the new server are overwritten with the configuration in the service profile. As a result, the change in the server is transparent to your network. You do not need to reconfigure any component or application on your network to begin using the new server.

This profile allows you to take advantage of and manage system resources through resource pools and policies, such as the following:

Virtualized identity information, including pools of MAC addresses, WWN addresses, and UUIDs

Ethernet and Fibre Channel adapter profile policies

Firmware package policies

Operating system boot order policies

Unless the service profile contains power management policies, a server pool qualification policy, or another policy that requires a specific hardware configuration, you can use the profile for any type of server in the Cisco UCS domain .

You can associate these service profiles with either a rack-mount server or a blade server. The ability to migrate the service profile depends upon whether you choose to restrict migration of the service profile.

This hardware-based service profile is the simplest to use and create. This profile uses the default values in the server and mimics the management of a rack-mounted server. It is tied to a specific server and cannot be moved or migrated to another server.

You do not need to create pools or configuration policies to use this service profile.

This service profile inherits and applies the identity and configuration information that is present at the time of association, such as the following:

MAC addresses for the two NICs

For a converged network adapter or a virtual interface card, the WWN addresses for the two HBAs

BIOS versions

Server UUID

In addition to any guidelines or recommendations that are specific to policies and pools included in service profiles and service profile templates, such as the local disk configuration policy, adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations that impact the ability to associate a service profile with a server:

Limit to the Number of vNICs that Can Be Configured on a Rack-Mount Server

You can configure up to 56 vNICs per supported adapter, such as the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), on any rack-mount server that is integrated with Cisco UCS Manager .

No Power Capping Support for Rack-Mount Servers

Power capping is not supported for rack servers. If you include a power control policy in a service profile that is associated with a rack-mount server, the policy is not implemented.

QoS Policy Guidelines for vNICs

You can only assign a QoS policy to a vNIC if the priority setting for that policy is not set to fc , which represents the Fibre Channel system class. You can configure the priority for the QoS policy with any other system class.

QoS Policy Guidelines for vHBAs

You can only assign a QoS policy to a vHBA if the priority setting for that policy is set to fc , which represents the Fibre Channel system class.

The Host Control setting for a QoS policy applies to vNICs only. It has no effect on a vHBA.

From the UUID Assignment drop-down list, do one of the following: Option Description Select (pool default used by default) Assigns a UUID from the default UUID Suffix pool. Continue with Step 9. Hardware Default Uses the UUID assigned to the server by the manufacturer. If you choose this option, the UUID remains unassigned until the service profile is associated with a server. At that point, the UUID is set to the UUID value assigned to the server by the manufacturer. If the service profile is later moved to a different server, the UUID is changed to match the new server. Continue with Step 9. XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX Uses the UUID that you manually assign. Continue with Step 8. Pools Assigns a UUID from the UUID Suffix pool that you select from the list at the bottom of the drop-down list. Each pool name is followed by two numbers in parentheses that show the number of UUIDs still available in the pool and the total number of UUIDs in the pool. Continue with Step 9. (Optional) If you selected the XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX option, do the following: In the UUID field , enter the valid UUID that you want to assign to the server which uses this service profile. To verify that the selected UUID is available, click the here link. In the Navigation pane, click Servers. Expand Servers > Service Profiles.

In the Modify Boot Policy dialog box, choose one of the following from the Boot Policy drop-down list: Option Description Select Boot Policy to use Assigns the default boot policy to this service profile. Continue with Step 14. Create a Specific Boot Policy Enables you to create a local boot policy that can only be accessed by this service profile. Continue with Step 8. Boot Policies Assigns an existing boot policy to the service profile. If you choose this option, Cisco UCS Manager displays the details of the policy. If you do not want use any of the existing policies, but instead want to create a policy that all service profiles can access, click Create Boot Policy and continue with Step 2. Otherwise, continue with Step 14. If you chose to create a boot policy, in the Create Boot Policy dialog box, enter a unique name and description for the policy. This name can be between 1 and 16 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), _ (underscore), : (colon), and . (period), and you cannot change this name after the object is saved. (Optional) To reboot all servers that use this boot policy after you make changes to the boot order, check the Reboot on Boot Order Change check box . In the Cisco UCS Manager GUI , if the Reboot on Boot Order Change check box is checked for a boot policy, and if CD-ROM or Floppy is the last device in the boot order, deleting or adding the device does not directly affect the boot order and the server does not reboot. (Optional) If desired, check the Enforce vNIC/vHBA/iSCSI Name check box . If checked, Cisco UCS Manager displays a configuration error and reports whether one or more of the vNICs, vHBAs, or iSCSI vNICs listed in the Boot Order table match the server configuration in the service profile. If not checked, Cisco UCS Manager uses the vNICs or vHBAs (as appropriate for the boot option) from the service profile.

Cisco UCS Manager assigns a server from this pool to the service profile. Continue with Step 7. Server Navigate to the desired available server in the navigation tree and select the server which will be assigned to the service profile. Continue with Step 7. Custom Server Specifies the chassis and slot that contains the server that will be assigned to the service profile. If the server is not in the slot or is otherwise unavailable, the service profile will be associated with the server when it becomes available. Continue with Step 6. If you chose Custom Server , do the following: In the Chassis Id field, enter the number of the chassis where the selected server is located. In the Server Id field, enter the number of the slot where the selected server is located. If you want to restrict the migration of the service profile after it is associated with a server, check the Restrict Migration. check box. If you choose not to restrict migration, Cisco UCS Manager does not perform any compatibility checks on the new server before migrating the existing service profile. If the hardware of both servers are not similar, the association might fail. When you disassociate a service profile, Cisco UCS Manager attempts to shutdown the operating system on the server. If the operating system does not shutdown within a reasonable length of time, Cisco UCS Manager forces the server to shutdown. In the Navigation pane, click Servers. Expand Servers > Service Profiles. Expand the node for the organization that contains the service profile that you want to disassociate from a server or server pool. node. Right-click the service profile you want to disassociate from a server and select Disassociate Service Profile. In the Disassociate Service Profile dialog box, click Yes to confirm that you want to disassociate the service profile. (Optional) Monitor the status and FSM for the server to confirm that the disassociation completed. Service Profile Templates With a service profile template, you can quickly create several service profiles with the same basic parameters, such as the number of vNICs and vHBAs, and with identity information drawn from the same pools. . For example, if you need several service profiles with similar values to configure servers to host database software, you can create a service profile template, either manually or from an existing service profile. You then use the template to create the service profiles. Cisco UCS supports the following types of service profile templates: Service profiles created from an initial template inherit all the properties of the template. Service profiles created from an initial service profile template are bound to the template. However, changes to the initial template do not automatically propagate to the bound service profiles. If you want to propagate changes to bound service profiles, unbind and rebind the service profile to the initial template. Service profiles created from an updating template inherit all the properties of the template and remain connected to the template. Any changes to the template automatically update the service profiles created from the template. . Service profiles created from updating template might attempt to retain the same ID when you press Reset even when lower IDs of sequential pool are free. In the Navigation pane, click Servers. Expand Servers > Service Profile Templates. Expand the node for the organization where you want to create the service profile template. node. Right-click the organization and choose Create Service Profile Template. In the Identify Service Profile Template panel, specify the service profile Name, Type, and UUID Assignment, then click Next.   after specifying the name.

Service Profile Template Tasks You can bind a service profile to a service profile template. When you bind the service profile to a template, Cisco UCS Manager configures the service profile with the values defined in the service profile template. If the existing service profile configuration does not match the template, Cisco UCS Manager reconfigures the service profile. You can only change the configuration of a bound service profile through the associated template. In the Navigation pane, click Servers. Expand Servers > Service Profiles. Expand the node for the organization that includes the service profile you want to bind. node. Click the service profile you want to bind. In the Work pane, click the General tab.

Choose the service profile template whose UUID assignment you want to change. In the Work pane, click the General tab. In the Actions area, click Change UUID. From the UUID Assignment drop-down list, choose one of the following: Option Description Select (pool default used by default) Assigns a UUID from the default UUID Suffix pool. Hardware Default Uses the UUID assigned to the server by the manufacturer. If you choose this option, the UUID remains unassigned until the service profile is associated with a server. At that point, the UUID is set to the UUID value assigned to the server by the manufacturer. If the service profile is later moved to a different server, the UUID is changed to match the new server. Pools Assigns a UUID from the UUID Suffix pool that you select from the list at the bottom of the drop-down list. Each pool name is followed by two numbers in parentheses that show the number of UUIDs still available in the pool and the total number of UUIDs in the pool. If you change the UUID suffix pool assigned to an updating service profile template, Cisco UCS Manager does not change the UUID assigned to a service profile created with that template. If you want Cisco UCS Manager to assign a UUID from the newly assigned pool to the service profile, and therefore to the associated server, you must reset the UUID. You can only reset the UUID assigned to a service profile and its associated server under the following circumstances: The service profile was created from an updating service profile template and includes a UUID assigned from a UUID suffix pool. The UUID suffix pool name is specified in the service profile. For example, the pool name is not empty. The UUID value is not 0, and is therefore not derived from the server hardware. In the Navigation pane, click Servers. Expand Servers > Service Profiles. Expand the node for the organization that contains the service profile for which you want to reset the UUID. node.

How To Use Service principal To Assign A Role To Another Service Principal How can I give a service principal access to assign a role to a resource it created? Here's the scenario. Created an Azure DevOps pipeline Created a Service Connection (which creates a service principal and grants it Contributor access to the entire subscription). Created a pipeline task AzureCLI@1 using the service connection Executed az group create … - SUCCESS - made a resource group! ^-- (Unless I do any role assignments as part of my ARM template) Executed az role assignment create … - FAILURE ERROR: Insufficient privileges to complete the operation. I tried making the service principal Owner instead of Contributor . No difference. This made me understand (kinda) why: Azure Service principal insufficient permissions to manage other service principals Which lead me here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/azure/devops/pipelines/release/azure-rm-endpoint?view=azure-devops#failed-to-assign-contributor-role But I'm a little stuck. I think I'm supposed to grant my service principal some sort of role within active directory so that it's allowed to manage role assignments. I found this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/roles-delegate-by-task#roles-and-administrators Based on that, it seems I should give my service principal Privileged role administrator access. scary . Then I found this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/custom-roles Because I wanted to limit this service principal to only be able to flex the active directory powers within a single subscription , which seems to be possible in the AssignableScopes property. But two things are giving me pause, which brings me here. 1) I'm relatively unfamiliar with what I'm doing, and I'm tossing around big scary terms like Administrator shudder . Time to consult some experts! 2) This seems complex. The task I'm performing seems like it should not be complex. I'm just trying to deploy AKS and a Container Registry in an Azure Pipeline and give AKS access to the registry. Which is what all the docs say to do (albeit at the commandline, not in a pipeline). So, should I really be creating a custom role just for the subscription which gives Privileged role administrator type privileges assignable only to the subscription, then granting my service principal that role? Or... How do I do this? I did try creating a custom role with action Microsoft.Authorization/write . It failed with this error: 'Microsoft.Authorization/write' does not match any of the actions supported by the providers. But I succeeded in creating one with action Microsoft.Authorization/*/write as well as Microsoft.Authorization/* My .json definition looks like: After assigning the role to the service principal, it still failed with insufficient access. I logged in locally via az login --service-principal , tried to use my new powers, and got this message: The client '...' with object id '...' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/.../Microsoft.Authorization/read' over scope '/subscriptions/.../resourceGroups/.../.../providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions' or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials. EDIT: SOLUTION This works with az role definition create . The service principal also needs to be a Directory Reader, unless you specify the role assignment by object-id. Azure Active Directory: Add Service Principal to Directory Readers Role with PowerShell It can be assigned to the service principal, and when executing az commands as that service principal, it succeeds in creating role assignments. azure-devops azure-active-directory azure-pipelines you need to grant it Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write custom permission or the built-in role of owner. scope would be subscription if you want to be able to do that for every resource group\resource in the subscription or you can be more granular (say specific resource groups or even resources). your custom role link is the right way to create custom roles. edit: OP needed to add Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/read as well, for me it works without it. The built-in "Owner" role does not work. It only works for users, not service principals. I've edited my answer to show the results of trying to grant it Microsoft.Authorization/write permissions (failed) –  Josh Commented Sep 16, 2019 at 16:30 1 right, because it failed to read permissions. you need to assign that permission as well if you want to actually read those. and it doesnt matter if its a user or a service principal from the RBAC standpoint –  4c74356b41 Commented Sep 16, 2019 at 16:33 I assigned Microsoft.Authorization/* and it didn't work. I assigned Microsoft.Authorization/*/read and Microsoft.Authorization/*/write and it didn't work. I created it with az ad sp create-for-rbac --role Owner and it didn't work. –  Josh Commented Sep 16, 2019 at 17:09 I create it using az ad sp create-for-rbac and assign it using az role assignments create --assignee [appId from prev command] and login using az login --service-principal [appId from prev command] –  Josh Commented Sep 16, 2019 at 17:13 just try az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "MyApp" --role owner and it would work fine and here you can check difference between owner and contributor. I dont know what you are doing wrong exactly, but for me it works with just Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write –  4c74356b41 Commented Sep 16, 2019 at 17:29 Your Answer Reminder: Answers generated by artificial intelligence tools are not allowed on Stack Overflow.
