We had an old server which did not run DNS correctly. (We could not add 2000 machines to the domain, only add them as a workgroup, could not add a secondary server) We put up a new server, with DNS functioning, added the 2000 workstations to the domain and the users can not launch some applications now. They can not launch corel apps, as well as a few other ones. (These will launch if the network admin is logged into the domain, or if the workstation does not log into the domain, only the workstation) I've already switched their documents from the old user profile in 'documents and settings'. I tried copy and pasting all the info from the old profile and that did not work

How can I get the functionality back for the apps? What has caused this? Thanks!!!

You can't just copy and paste the files from the old profile to the new
profile, it has to be migrated. Log on as a local Administrator right click
on My Computer, choose properties, select the User profile tab Select the
Local user profile you want to migrate, click "Copy To" then Browse to the
directory of the Domain user and Change the "Permitted to use" to the domain
user.
