Hi guys. I had the problem of switching domains recently.
My nephew wrote a tool for me that you run on the client
machine (logged in as administrator) and it will change
the SID on the profile to the new SID from the new domain
and even rename the profile if you want. Send me an email
if you want it. (paul@templesystems.net)
Thanks,
Paul N Temple
