Windows 2003 DC crashed & burned, no backup. DID a parrellel install and recovered data but the original registry, active directory etc is toast. I am going to wipe the hard drive and due a frsh install. If I create the user and computer accounts with the same names and use the same domain name will the the users be able to log onto the domain without creating new profiles ? Should I remove the desktops from the old domain before attempting to log onto the new one even though the domain name will be the same?
