    NT Server Tools for XP workstation ?

    It's OK, i managed to figure it out. I read up a little on MMC and found that if i run MMC and open c:\windows\system32\compmgmt there IS the save option available so i now have a file for each server on my desktop. Thanks for all contributions, Delia.

    Rename User Profile?

    Your roaming profile idea really sounds like a good one but as i'd never used them before and had the boss standing over me wanting to see his email messages, i went for the thing i knew would work. I will have a look at rp's when i get a little more time. I think .wab files are hidden which is...

    Rename User Profile?

    ps. The comforting thing about this forum is seeing that you are not alone and that plenty of other people have similar (and dissimilar) problems. The recent new thread "Computers rename themselves" makes me smile (in sympathy). Delia

    Rename User Profile?

    Thankyou to all who have offered me help on my profile problem. In the end I had to get the email back up and running immediately so I recreated the account in the new profile and managed to import the huge files back in. I am now trying to figure out how to import the address book (which was...

    Rename User Profile?

    In fact, in the list of profiles there are some account unknown profiles. I tried the copy to option in cp\system\advanced\user profiles but it gave the same strange result of changing the font on the start button and the keyboard ! and not all the programs working properly. What i would really...

    Rename User Profile?

    Oh dear. I copied all of the contents of the profile with all the stuff in it into the profile folder that BILL logs on to, and though i got the desktop back, various programs don't work, some keyboard character positions have changed and the outlook express account doesn't open (problem of...

    Rename User Profile?

    Thankyou for your help. I suspect the problem is a security one. I wasn't very clear in my first post - although the profiles are on the PC, they are in fact network (domain) passwords not local ones. Delia

    Rename User Profile?

    Thanks Captain Crunch. I tried exactly what you said then logged on again as BILL, the lost profile didn't appear and now i find again a profile named simply BILL ! So i now have BILL.domainname (with the correct profile inside), BILL.domainname.old and BILL, the user "Bill" presumeably now...

    Rename User Profile?

    I was having trouble seeing a shared printer from another PC and decided to take the PC with the printer out of the domain and then add it back again. Unfortunately when i log on again i have lost the user profile for user let's call him BILL, ie desktop, outlook express email account, links...

    NT Server Tools for XP workstation ?

    Thanks, i tried this but when i tried to select the domain it said access denied - i think it may be because my pc is connected as member of workgroup rather than domain. (I did this to stop other domain members using my pc). Delia

    NT Server Tools for XP workstation ?

    I mainly want to just check which files are open and which users are logged on using server manager from my PC to avoid going to the server room every time. We do have NT service pack 6a installed. I'll loook in to both options. Thanks. Delia.

    I have recently changed PC from win 98 to XP pro and on my 98 machine i had Windows NT server tools - event viewer, server manager and user manager for domains (i don't know who installed this or how) so that i could see who was connected, what files were open etc. from my own PC. Does anyone...
