Today I was moving C:\Users to another partition using symlink method.
I had the great idea of making the symlink from C:\Users => U:\, instead of C:\Users => U:\Users.
Sadly, I've deleted the original "Users" folder and now, when I try to login, it says that The User Profile Service failed the logon.
Maybe I'm wrong, but this is because the root directory of user profiles isn't the system one, so now when I create C:\Users, I can't log into Windows and I get the above error message.
How can create a new C:\Users directory and workaround the problem?
Thank you in advance!
