Preserving NT User Profiles

by rickwest . Updated 25 years, 8 months ago

67 NT Workstations logging into Novell. Just set up a NT PDC. Would like to start logging in users. When users’ machine joins the domain, upon next login a new user profile is created. (The same user name and password are the same for the domainaccount and the local account) The previous profile is named “username”, the new profile is named “username.000” I know I can manually copy over all the start menu settings and My Documents, but I am looking for a way to reuse the existing profile to keep existing application settings-specifically Microsoft Outlook. I have tried reassigning permissions of the local profile to a domain user, using the “User Profile” tab of the System Properties, but to no avail. Any help you can provide wouldbe great, saving me tons of time.
