User Profile problem

Hi,

Windows XP Pr SP2

Problem:
The computer was a member of an AD Domain and I wanted to change the
computer name and join it to a different Domain in the AD forest. So I did
the following:
Logged on to the computer as the Domain User (the use does have local Admin
rights)
I joined a WORKGROUP
Re-booted
Logged on as the Local Administrator local computer
Right click on My computer, Re-named the computer and entered the domain,
Join the Domain
Re-boot joining the Domain works ok. I log on as the Domain user and nothing
is displayed on the screen (and I did wait for over 1 hour still nothing)
I can log on as the local Admin and the Profile is listed and shows 400MB.

Is there a simple fix for this ?

Thanks in advance Terry

This should not have worked, unless you entered Domain Admin credentials in
the process.
If you didn't supply Domain Admin credentials, something definitely went
wrong.

Re-boot joining the Domain works ok.

Are you sure? Do you have the option on the logon screen to choose between
(renamed) local computername and the domainname to logon from?

I log on as the Domain user and nothing
is displayed on the screen (and I did wait for over 1 hour still nothing)
I can log on as the local Admin and the Profile is listed and shows 400MB.

If that is a pre-existing domain user (ie. one that already existed and was
used before the change-over) you might still be trying to logon with 'old'
cached credentials, that the system now doesn't know how to handle
correctly.

Yes, the new computer Name and the Domain are both there.

Yes, this is a pre-existing Domain User. It's my Domain account on my
laptop.
So yes it was definatly used befoe

Thanks in advance Terry

George,
I think you are correct about the cached credentials, how do I fix this?
Like I said I can logon with the Domain User Name & Password but nothing is
displayed on the screen.

Thanks again, Terry

You could (temporarily) set the Default Domain Security Policy on the DC to
not allow cached credentials.
I believe (off the top of my head) that is a setting in the Computer
Settings, Local Security, Security Options and it is set at 10 (default).
