Workgroup profiles to a new domain

by bmassey . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

Greetings all. I have a bit of a conundrum on my hands here and am trying to figure out the fastest way to implement a solution. Our company recently “split” from the main division and we are working on our own. I have inherited the job as IT manager now and have found that all the computers here are not domain based…they are one huge “workgroup” on a public IP scheme. Hooray. Now, I have talked the owner of my company to get a new server with Windows 2003 on it, which we did. The trouble I’m running into is getting the old profiles from the workgroup to be able to be used in the domain. I have tried copying the profiles to the server and setting up roaming profiles, but alas, that doesn’t work. Is there any other way to do this than to copy and import the profiles to the local machines and save all the vital information on the profiles?

Thanks,
Brian
