Did you remove the laptop from the old domain and then re-enter the new
domain?
Log in to the laptop with a different account (other than yours) that has
administrative rights. Go to C:\Document and Settings. You should see your
old profile. Actually there should be two profile that look almost the same
since you used the same user ids and domain name.
Something like: <yourname>.<domain> and <yourname>.<domain>.000 ....
something like that.
Identify which one is the old profile. Copy the content over tot he new
profile. Log off the computer and reconnect with your user id.

Hello,
We recently upgraded from a Windows 2000 Server to a Windows 2003
Small Business Server environment. On the new server, the network
domain was given the same name as were all the user accounts.
When I first logged into my network account from my laptop, Windows
XP
created a new user profile, as I expected. However, now I cannot view
my old user profile (which has ALL of my stuff) when I go to Control
Panel -> System -> Advanced -> User Profiles -> Settings.
It looks like my original User Profile now appears as Account
Unknown.
I am assuming this is because my new user profile has the same domain
and user name. What's worse, is the option to Copy the profile to my
new profile is disabled. How do I recover all the stuff my old
Profile?
Is it possible to just update the ProfileImagePath registry setting
for the SID of my new user profile to point to the profile directory
of my old user account? This would make my life very easy as I
wouldn't have to copy anything. Somehow, I don't think its this easy
though.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!
Thanks
.
