Re: 2 notebooks 1 server. sbs domain or workgroup. fax forwarding. outlook sync.



Hello Aaron,

Thank you for kind reply.

1. Yes, we have to create one domain account on SBS including username and
password for client to logon domain. Meanwhile, we still have to create a
computer account on SBS for the client: Server Management, Standard
Management, Client Computers, Set Up Client Computers.

2. Yes, since the laptop clients did not join other domain before, we do
not need to move them back to workgroup, they are working in workgroup all
the while. We only need to access the http://<SBS name>/connectcomputer on
laptop to run the wizard. In the wizard, you can select the user account
and computer account which you created on SBS.

3. No, we do no need to create share folder for user profile on SBS. The
migration will just migrate the local profile (which you use in the
workgroup mode) to domain profile (which you use when you logon SBS domain,
the domain profile still store in the laptop computer)

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Hi Terence,
|
| Sorry for the late reply, takes me a bit of time till I get to the
| client.
| I wasn't able to follow the steps, I couldn't completely understand
| them.
| I managed to join the domain using the connectcomputer wizard from the
| browser. After changing a few configurations
| but I but I had a few questions that I wasn't sure about and so I was
| using a temporary account to test the process.
|
| I created the username and password on the server to be able to join
| the network, is that okay?
|
| Was I supposed to join the domain, copy the user, move back to the
| workgroup and then move to the domain?
| or could I have just skipped all that and since I was on the workgroup
| just join the domain? is that okay?
|
| To assign the profile folder do I go to the server and set it up there
| with the shared user folder from the client, so it would look
| something like:
| \\computername\systemdriver\users\username\
|
| or am i getting this all wrong and i'm supposed to do that transition
| with users from the domain to workgroup and then domain again and only
| then it will let me browse for the account profile as part of the
| wizard?
|
| Thank you T,
| Aaron.

|
| When you join the computer to the Domain using the
| Http://servername/connectcomputer Wizard, after you select the
| computer
| name you add the users which will be using the computer. At that time
| you
| can select to migrate the profile of the local user you wish to
| migrate to
| domain user profile.
|
| Steps for your reference:
| 1. On the client computer, change the computer membership from the
| domain
| to workgroup. Create a local profile, and then copy the old domain
| profile
| to a local profile before you join the client to SBS 2K3 domain,
|
| 2. Use the Setup Computer Wizard in SBS 2003 to join the (now) XP Pro
| machines to the SBS domain: Server Management, Standard Management,
| Client
| Computers, Set Up Client Computers.
|
| 3. On the client, access http//<Server name>/connectcomputer to bring
| up
| the Setup Computer Wizard, it will then allow you to map domain user
| accounts to local profiles on the machine thus preserving your
| profiles:
| "Assign Users to this Computes and Migrate their Profiles".
|
| 4. You will Add a domain account to "Users assigned to this computer",
| and
| then choose the existing local user profile in the "Current User
| Settings".
| By Default, the value for "Current User Settings" is "None".
|
