I received an error trying to migrate a profile form domain to domain, and now the profile is broken. When I try to log in with it, it loads a temp profile and gives a windows error:

We can't sign into your account

This problem can often be fixed by signing out of your account and then signing back in.

If you don't sign out now, any files you create or changes you make will be lost.

[Sign out] [Dismiss]

When yo look at the registry, the profile has the .bak extension now.

HKLM\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\ProfileList\S-1-5-21... .bak

I tried removing the .bak and setting the Sate to "0" but that did not work.

How do I fix this?

Just try re-migrating the profile.
