Re: Server login via LAN...

You could copy their profile using the copy feature in System Properties
(Right Click, My Computer), advanced tab. If it was a local account they
were using before you could give permissions to their new AD account, if it
was an account in another domain and have a trust between the two domains,
give permissisons on the copy to the new domain account. Theres multiple
ways to do this, its just a matter of finding which way is best, and what
your users will accept (as far as lost settings). I've noticed that some
items dont always transfer well such as some Outlook settings (PST/OST file
locations).

Yep, I know there's nothing forcing the user to login to the domain
(unless a
policy is in place restricting local logins), but that is actually not
what I
was referring to.

If the only way to access resources on the AD domain controller is to
login
to the domain, then I have another question.

When you join a computer to a domain, you are creating an entirely new and
separate user profile on the local workstation, right? Unfortunately, when
this is done, the user loses all their current settings as relates to how
they have their "personal windows settings" set up. Their desktop icons,
even
some programs, are no longer accessible.

Is there a way to simply copy their local workstation profile to their
domain profile as you would from local user to local user on the
workstation?

Thanx again.
