Lost User Profile.

[ScottK]

I had a user profile set up on a domain. The domain went
away but the profile was still ok (it was cached). Then I
made the mistake of demoting the profile to a local user
in CONTRL PANEL-SYSTEM-NETWORK ID. Now I cant get the
profile back. Is there any way to recover that profile? It
doesnt seem like I can get the third DOMAIN line back on
startup, as it is looking for an actual domain connection.
Can I maybe fake the system out again thinking it has a
domain connection?

The profile is now orphaned, you can rename the profiles (while logged on as
local admin), then when the user logs on again a new profile will be created
from the image in \default user. You can then copy over the items you need
from the renamed profile. Copy the folder contents not the folders
themselves. When your sure you have all you need, you can delete the renamed
profile(s). Use the import function of your e-mail software.
