Hello...
I posted this a week or so ago in another forum and
thought this one migh tbe more appropriate.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME tgbqaz@hotmail.com

please help with the following scenario:

Domain: A.com
Users: 2000
Email: exchange 2000
Email client: Outlook
Workstation clients: 95,98,me,2000,xp pro

Domain controllers for domain A are physicaly stolen. new
domain controllers are purchased. A domain is setup
identical to the stolen domain (same domain name). Users
are setup so that the user names are identical (so rsmith
before, is rsmith now). Clients machines that are
running 95,98, me, should not have a prob logging into the
new domain since there authentication is diff from nt
based machines. They are only asked to changed their
outlook mail delivery locations the first time they open
outlook.

Win2000 and xp machines are the prob. In short, how do i
keep the user profile for the client machine? When i log
into the machine as a LOCAL administrator, I disjoin and
rejoin it to teh domain. when i do this, the user profile
is written over. I've tried this in several test
situations, and this seems to be the case. So when the
user logs in to the new domain, no outlook profiles are
there and the user desktop is the windows default.

What i want to do is have teh user log into the new
domain, and have their profile still there. I realize I
may have to copy profiles and such, but this doesnt seem
to work.

I know there has to be someone in this situation
somwhere. I cannot fathom MS has never envisioned this
scenario where a domain controller migh tbecome disabled
or otherwise destroyed (fire destroys building, theft,
disgrunteld employee, etc).

any help GREATLY APPRECIATED
