we have set up our test win 2k3 on a seperate subnet on our network, this will soon become our primary domain controller when we power down our old 2000 servers
we have set up everything on this server, users/groups, security and permissions, dns , etc
we connected one of our user computers to this new subnet to check everything works - which it did, created an a record etc.
However the problem is that it created a new login user profile for the user -brian
So when we look in docs and settings it has the account of brian and brian.****
brian is the old account on the origonal network login and brian.**** is the new logon profile.
What i want to do is transfer the origonal profile to the new network logon profile.
I found by removing the brian account from the network to the workgroup, rebooting logging in and then rejoining the network , i vould then log in as admin and delete the new profile brian.**** and then renaming brian to brian.****
when i logged back into the network it used the settings that i wanted.....
however this is a long workaround.
i saw that i could go into system - advanced - user profiles- settings
highlight the user profile that i wanted and then copy it to the new profile, however it doesnt give m ethe copy option for that profile - only for the admin profiles.....
is there any way i can do this, as we have 12 pc's all with set user desktop settings that we want to keep .
thanks
