I am in the process of recovering a windows 2000 server. The HDD died with no
backup of the system files - only the data (in a folder mapped as a drive by
the users).
I have replaced the HDD, re-installed Windows2000 server and set it up as a
domain controller. I don't know for sure that I have used the original domain
name - I wasn't able to recover the details from the old drive and there is
no documentation. (I was, fortunately, able to recover the saved data from
tape.)
I now want to attach the clients to the domain. When I try to do this, they
seem to be registered as new users and create a new profile on the clients.
Is there any way I can register the clients using their existing profiles?
The clients are all working as stand-alone machines and can map to the
folder on the server.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
