Thanks Chris, that seemed to work. Interestingly, I think it may have
also shown me the problem, though I haven't tested it. If I was logged
in with the LocalUser, logged out, logged in as local Admin, and tried
to do the manual copy, the LocalUser would grey out that button. But
if I reset and only logged in as local Admin, it would allow me to
copy. I may have always been doing it the first way when I tried
ConnectComputer.

Anyway, still one minor lingering problem. My network places is still
showing the old workgroup with both the server and client attached to
it, but only if the client is logged in. The client must be trying to
attach to the workgroup somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I made sure
to disconnect all network drives and not reconnect them at reboot, but
it must be somewhere else. Any help is appreciated.
