RE: Administrator Profile Deleted...Help!

Hello Brandy!

Thank you for replying to my question.
After copying files and folders necessary from the problematic administrator
profile, and as far as deleting the problematic profile, I get a message
stating that there has been a sharing voilation or process is running and it
cannot be deleted. This is after I log-in when with the newly created
administrator profile...I am confused, is there something I need to verify or
modify in order to delete?

Looking forward to your answer

Thank
George

Hello George,

Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.

I understand that you deleted the ntuser.dat by mistake and you cannot log
in as Administrator. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me
know.

I suggest that you backup the problematic Administrator profile folder and
delete the Administrator folder. Log on as the problematic Administrator
account again and restore the previous settings back to see how it goes.

To do so, please see my general steps:

a. Log on SBS Server.
b. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.
c. Backup Cookies, Desktop, Favorites, My Documents and Start Menu to
another location.
d. Delete the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator folder.
e. Log in as the problematic Administrator account again and replace these
folders.

Hello,

I accidentally deleted the ntuser.dat file in the administrator profile on
the server. I was logged in as another user with Administrator rights.
When I
tried to log back in as Administrator I received an error message stating
that the "profile cannot be found will try to log you in with the default
Administrator profile, access denied." I clicked ok on this message and it
logged me in with another Administrator profile where all my settings were
gone on my desktop as well as shortcuts and favorites...

After logging off again, and logging in...I still get this message...

Please help...I would like this message to be removed...but I don't know
how...when I try to delete the problem profile it won't let me as it says
its
being used by another process...

I am hoping to hear from someone back soon...

George
