Hi

* from EACH computer retrieve the SID and samaccountname from the
registry
* create a new domain/forest with ALL accounts using the SAME
samaccountname for each USER
* create a SID Mapping file (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=835991)
where the SID of each new user is mapped with its old SID.
* Use ADMT to translate profiles (etc.) on the workstations (replace
mode) where the SID mapping file is used

Did you actually ever tried this Jorge?

I agree with Tomasz.....

however, in ADDITION: you might wanna try the following (which will be
a PITA job to do):

* from EACH computer retrieve the SID and samaccountname from the
registry
* create a new domain/forest with ALL accounts using the SAME
samaccountname for each USER
* create a SID Mapping file (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=835991)
where the SID of each new user is mapped with its old SID.
* Use ADMT to translate profiles (etc.) on the workstations (replace
mode) where the SID mapping file is used

test this first in a test environment

Got a client who had server stolen - no backups! Replaced server and
tried to keep as many credentials the same as possible, however, the
workstations do not log on properly as their is no trust relationship
in place for the correct SID. Have tried all the 'netdom' commands,
but it continually says that there is no logon server available. Of
course the obvious router would be to dis-join from the domain and
re-join, however this customer can't lose the information in the
current domain profile on each of the workstations.

This was only DC in a domain? If the answer is Yes You have to
disjoint these workstations from old domain, promote DC for a new
domain and join them again.

Information from old profiles will have to be copied to new profiles.
