Re: Still trying to remove W2K PC from NT4 Domain...

Thanks again for the quick reply Pegasus!

I'm afraid you're going to have to be patient with me - I must be a complete
doofus...

And this is a simple way <ducking>

1. Even I can do this one! ;^)

In 2. & 4. below you quote;
"Type this command in a Command Prompt and make a
of the output. Let's call it "X".

What exactly does "make a of the output" mean?

I guess you mean make a note of the output?

In my example on the HOME domain this will be C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator
When I log on locally it changes to Administrator.ABIT

3. I am unable to log on locally under my preferred account name as it
recognises nothing but Administrator.
I can't add/create a new user from Control Panel/Users and Paswords either
:-(

You did reply to me last time...I'm not usually this stupid and I appreciate
your patience ;^)

Kind regards,
-=pp=-

There are several ways of doing this. Here is a simple one:
1. Log on to the domain under your normal account.
2. Type this command in a Command Prompt and make a
of the output. Let's call it "X".
set userprofile
3. Log on locally under the preferred account name.
4. Type this command in a Command Prompt and make a
of the output. Let's call it "Y".
set userprofile
5. Run regedit.
6. Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList:
7. Change every occurrence of Y to X.
8. Reboot, then repeat Step 3.

You should now have your preferred domain profile while
logged on locally. Time to take the machine off the domain!
