2000 server and xp

[Josh]

I used a xp workstation and added the domain of the server
and logged on. Apparently it created a profile on the 2000
server and when I log on it uses that profile and I cannot
use my old desktop any more, I have a Novell 32 bit client
as well , How can I log on to my old workstation profile
and get back all of my information.

Just log in with the account that you used to use
before the machine was joined to the domain.
At the login screen you should have a dropbox
(if you are showing all options) where you select
the local machine instead of the domain.

Josh,

Does the Novell login screen have a 'workstation' only checkbox. If so,
just enable the workstation only box and login using your local user name
and password--just like you did before you added your workstation to the
domain. If the Novell login window doesn't display the 'workstation' only
checkbox, it has been disabled. You can re-enable the checkbox by logging
onto the network. Next locate the Novell system tray icon (the little red N
icon). Right click and select 'Properties' on the sub-menu--look for a
setting to enable 'Workstation'. After it's enabled, log out and the Novell
login window should display the 'workstation' only checkbox.

The only other concern I would have is if your network login name was (is)
the same as your local user name. I'm thinking your domain name might have
overridden your local use profile.

Best regards,

Todd

Todd,

Good info. Just a note here that unless the Novell client
buggers things up

the same as your local user name. I'm thinking your domain name might have
overridden your local use profile.

should not be a concern, as these profiles are actually
special folders that key in on the account SIDs.

Roger,

Thanks for the clarification--wasn't sure about the user's local profile.

Respectfully,

Todd Shillam
