Re: Vista, Outlook 2007 & Profiles

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The old user profile should be under the C:\Users directory. Look for the Photos and the Favorites under there.

Which are the folders that the users is denied access to? If they are old profiles, I would put the Domain Administrator account in the Local Admins group, log in with that id and copy or move anything that needs to be moved.

Apologies if this is the wrong group for this post - if so, would appreciate advice re more appropriate group.

Scenario is SBS 2003 Sp1 server with 5 users, 4 XP SP2 machines with Outlook 2003, and one user running Vista Business SP1 with Outlook 2007. The SBS box is fully patched and has the Vista updates. Since joining the Vista machine to the domain, each day the Server Event Logs have had Event Id 673 (Service Ticket Request) and Event ID 675 (Pre-Authentication) Errors from the Vista box. Have tried to research these and followed some advice but the errors remain.
So, I decided to remove the Vista box from the domain, join a workgroup, create a new machine name, and bring it back to the domain using connectcomputer. In the past, this procedure has worked fine for XP.

Did all that - errors seem to have gone - BUT:
1. The user wants her nicknames back
2. The user wants her favourites back
3. The user wants her photos back (They were in Vista's Photo gallery.)

Question 1. What happened to her old domain profile??? (In XP we know where it is and we can recover the photos and the Outlook *.nk file. etc.)
Question 2. This user has local admin rights on this machine but keeps getting ACCESS DENIED to some folders under her user name. What needs to be done to stop this annoying hurdle (We temporarily disabled the UAC.)

Thanks for any and all enlightenment...
