Guest poppet Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 We had a new server installed some 7months ago at which time we converted from all users from belonging to a workgroup to a domain. When this was done I recall the tech guy going round each workstation logging onto domain, changing a registry setting which enabled them to retrieve the old settings they used to see when logging on as their old logon when part of workgroup. Does anyone ever remember using this tweak? I need to add another pc to domain which didn't get done @ time of change which currently has lots of programs we can't afford to loose so really would appreciate if someone could help Pete
Guest Dave Patrick Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Re: Convert user from workgroup to domain keeping settings Logon once to the new domain then run regedt32.exe and navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList locate the new profile SID and edit the Reg_Expand_Sz 'ProfileImagePath' to point back to the old domain profile. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.
