I have a serious question regarding a current setup on am attempting to
employ in the SOHO.
I currently have a Windows 2003 Server machine I've just gotten online
this weekend to serve as a domain.local DC. The issue I am running
into, is that the initial Windows XP Professional workstation I am
setting up already has LOCAL profiles on it in which much time and
pleasure has been taken into customizing each.
I've created the AD domain user account to coincide with the current
account on the Windows XP Professional machine. I want the DOMAIN
profile to sync to the LOCAL profile ' ..\name.name ', NOT to
create/use a profile of it's own making such as ' ..\name.nameDOMAIN '.
No mind you, 3 times I have already attempted the common registry edit
of changing the ' ProfileImagePath '. Unfortunately, each time when
re-attempting to log back into the machine under the DOMAIN user and
expecting to see the LOCAL profile, it creates a new profile altogether
under the auspices of ' ..\name.nameDOMAIN.001 ' or similar.
HOW do I get the DOMAIN user account to use the LOCAL user's
profile/directory ?!
I've become utterly frustrated trying to figure this one out. I'm sure
this is simple enough, but I've not found how to make it happen
successfully yet as the domain user account when it logs in seems to
overwrite that ' ProfileImagePath ' key with it's own information since
it creates a new one and all.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
