then copy with an admin account the data form the existing local
userprofile to the new created profile<<
I tried that. MS KB said to copy all but the NTUser.* files. I did that, but
desktop was all different. Personal settings were not copied over. Is it
basically no matter what you copy over there will be differences?

I want the user to be able to connect to ActiveD so files are synched to the
server.
thanks

Hello shank,

If the user gets a domain account even with the same name as using
locally, it is a different account and creates a new profile on the local
machine. That's normal and by design.

So what kind of access does the user need, only a network share? The the
user should create it's own mapping and use the domain user to
authenticate when prompted for name/password.

If the user should logon to the domain and the computer should also work
complete in the domain add the machine to the domain. Logon one time to
create profile and then copy with an admin account the data form the
existing local userprofile to the new created profile.

Best regards

I have a user with a laptop I want to connect to the network. The
issue I believe is profiles. I want to keep everything he has and just
login as normal user. When I go through the get NetworkID process all
is good. Laptop login username/password is identical to the network.
If I login to the domain all of his laptop profile is gone. It's like
starting a new account. If I login to his laptop, then try to connect
to his network account I get prompted for username/password but I
don't get access.

How do I get him logged onto the network and keep his WinXP Pro laptop
profile all intact?

thanks!
