| Description | Failed to set the users home directory %1. |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: CAUSE: This problem may occur because some third-party programs may set the systems Cryptography Service Provider (CSP) on Windows 2000 to a provider that is not usable to callers that do not specify a provider. In some situations this may cause problems, for example, if a strong provider is required. The Protected Storage service calls CryptAcquireContext without passing a specific provider. If the default CSP does not support the specified algorithm, the next available CSP could be used. This appears to be related to programs that have only been tested on Windows 2000 versions prior to Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2). Windows 2000 SP2 ensures that the system is running high encryption and that different providers may be used. Microsoft testing indicates that this issue is only reproducible on a Windows 2000 SP2-based computer or a pre-Windows 2000 SP2-based computer with the High Encryption pack installed. WORKAROUND: To work around this issue, note that Protected Storage now explicitly calls the required CSP for callers that do not specify a CSP to use. |
