Ok, for anyone interested, I found the answer and resolution for my specific situation with respect to the Error 0x80070005 (Access is Denied) after applying fix for Default User profilecorruption.We recently had an Active Directory problem that turned into a disaster with 2 domain controllers failing and being force decommissioned. During the disaster recovery AD roles were Seized to a known stable domain controller, a new DC rebuilt to replace the2 failed ones and everything appeared to be working from that point. However, there were residual effects with GPOs not properly applying, security permissions issues, etc.This past weekend I had to work with MSFT Support to resolve as the reported problem above was a result of the continued problems mentioned. When I got MSFT Support on the phone and the Tech connected to my machine, we logged into the RID Master DC, instantlywe got the same Windows Genuine License error. The problem was that the DC was no longer accepting sync requests, the security permissions on the entire disk were not working, registry permissions were also a problem and the logon profle list and GUID registrykeys were also corrupted. This DC required a force dcpromo (demote) and repromote with the roles seized to yet another DC. All of the AD problems were resolved and the failing DC restored through the standard process.Interestingly enough, as soon as we resolved all of the security permissions issues on the drive, we were able to then restore the DC to a working and stable state, all of the DCs began syncing properly again.
