Re: Client Setup could not remove a special account to migrate use

Thanks for the reply. I suspected that I might have to reinstall the new
workstation in the domain; however, I cannot easily uninstall the user since
the user has an extensive profile and has been around a while. I will try
reinstalling the workstation next Monday when I can get on-site again.
Thanks again for the reply.
