Re: Trouble with adding existing user to SBS 2003 network

Followed directions while logged on as Administrator to the local machine and
got the message:

"User already exists"

Tried going through the same procedure while logged on as the domain client
and got the error:

"The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials"

Should I do something to the profile (rename it and let it get reset in
'Documents and Settings')?
