24 RevertToSelf failed with error code and Profile Management was shut down. Some logon and logoff processing is performed using impersonation. The RevertToSelf function is normally invoked when impersonation is complete. On this occasion, the function failed to be called. So, for security reasons, the Profile Management software was shut down. The user received an error message. If you suspect a security breach, follow your organization’s procedures to address it, and then restart Profile Management.
25 The profile for user is managed by Citrix Profile Management, but the user store cannot be reached… The Citrix Profile Management Service on this computer cannot reach the specified user store. This is normally because of a network issue or because the server hosting the user store is unavailable. Ensure the server hosting the user store is available and the network between this computer and the server is operational.
26 The default profile location is invalid. Profiles in this location cannot be monitored correctly… Profiles on this computer must be on a disk mounted on a drive letter (for example, C:). Move the profiles on this computer to a disk mounted on a drive letter, and restart Profile Management.
27 The profile folder for the user is not present under the default profile location … In the registry, the location of this user’s profile and of the default profile do not match. This can occur, for example, if profiles are moved between different volumes on the machine running the Profile Management Service. Ensure that this user’s profile is located under the default folder location. Use appropriate tools if necessary so that the profile data in the file system matches the profile’s registry settings.
28 An error occurred while trying to reset security permissions on the registry hive for user. It is likely that there are permission issues with the registry in the default or template profile used to create this Citrix user profile. If appropriate, reset the security permissions on the user’s registry hive in the Profile Management user store using a third-party utility such as SetAcl.
29 A template profile path is configured but no profile was found… The specified folder cannot be used in the template profile setting because it does not contain the file NTUSER.DAT. This issue commonly occurs when the full path of the NTUSER.DAT file is configured instead of the folder containing NTUSER.DAT. The template profile setting does not support the expansion of Active Directory attributes, system environment variables, or the %USERNAME% and %USERDOMAIN% variables. Check that you have configured a valid path to the folder containing the template profile. Check that the path contains NTUSER.DAT. Make sure that this file is valid, and that access rights are set correctly on the folder to allow read access to all files.

36 The existing profile folder for USER cannot be prepared for this user’s new Citrix mandatory profile. The user is given a temporary profile if possible. Citrix mandatory profiles use copies of a template profile for each logon. Any existing profiles are deleted and the Citrix mandatory profiles are copied from the specified template location. This process failed. Delete any existing profile folder manually. You might have to restart the computer if files are locked by another process that causes the deletion to fail. Ensure that the template folder exists and the user has permissions to read its contents.
37 The user store path for user cannot be reached. A temporary profile is created for this user and no changes are saved to their profile in this user store. The Citrix Profile Management Service on this computer cannot reach the specified user store. This is normally because of a network issue or because the server hosting the user store is unavailable. Ensure the server hosting the user store is available and the network between this computer and the server is operational.
38 The profile for user is managed by Citrix Profile Management, but the user store path cannot be found. A temporary profile is created for this user and no changes are saved to their profile in this user store. The Citrix Profile Management Service on this computer cannot find the profile in the specified user store. This might be because of a network issue or because the server hosting the user store is unavailable. But it might also be because the profile in the user store has been deleted or moved. Or the path to the user store has changed and no longer correctly points to an existing profile in the user store. Ensure that the server hosting the user store is available. And the network between this computer and the server is operational and the path to the user store points to an existing profile. If the profile in the user store has been deleted, delete the profile on the local machine.
