The User Profile Service service failed the logon - Windows 7 Pro x64

This is not a duplicate question since I'm logging in with a Domain account...

I have a HP Z200 with Windows 7 Pro x64 in a domain environment. I just imaged my last computer (I have 5 other functionnal) with the same image than the other one but for a reason, I can't log in with my AD account. I get the error message:

The User Profile Service service failed the logon

So then I went on Microsoft Website because they pretend to have a fix (KB947215) but even with their tool or going by the registry, I am unable to login' in.

I also tried to remove the computer from the domain but no luck. I tried to restart the service but it won't due to dependencies that cannot be stop.

So I'm clueless now. Any takers on this one?

Regards,

David.

P.S. I hope this won't be a Bounty!
