These are the posts to date anyone else any options and
where are the NTFS settings?

Hi all

I have set up a new domain using Windows Server 2000 with
active directory. i have set up the user accounts and
given the rights and security settings. i can add the
client computers (all windows 2000 Pro) to the new domain
and I can log onto the new domain with the new user
accounts. But when i try to transfer the profile from the
local user to the new domain user the settings won't
take. I must change the local user rights to
administrator for Explorer/office/ mail and all the other
programs to work. I can't then reduce the rights as the
software will not work. I also tried changing the
registry settings to point the old profile to the new one
but again need admin rights? Any suggestions

Thanks in advance

Joe

I suppose you are adjusting the ProfileImagePath key for
new users to point
back to the old users'.

Example
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-21-2225589205-
1256799619-874574627-1009\
ProfileImagePath

You have to remember to set NTFS permissions for the
Domain user account to
access their respective local user account profile
directories, since they
are the 'new' owners.
