问题
So today I came across an issue whereby a powershell script was causing the deployment to fail. This job is set-up exactly the same on other machines. This one however just refused to work. The error was:
An object at the specified path C:\Users\user~1.name does not exist
heres the full log at the time of failure

回答1:
After some googling I came across this. The error was pretty much describing the same thing as I was seeing.
However the answer "please use another account" was less than satisfactory to me. Nevertheless I tried a different account and it worked successfully.
I then deleted the c:\users\user.name folder and relogged on with the original account. Usually the Folder c:\users\user.name would be recreated however in this case it created c:\users\temp.
After a quick google again it appears that windows does this when your profile is all out of whack. After removing the profile from the registry and another logon it created the correct folder.
Then finally put the jobs original credentials in and it all worked :)
