User profile redeploiment

[Guest]

After DC total crash I reinstalled w3k server from zero. I had to rejoin
clients back to domain.

Now I lost profile of one of the clients rsulting that Office, aplication
data and specially Outlook Express datafiles are under the old profile.

What is the best practice to get them back? Suppose that copying everything
from oldusername/Documents and Settings/ under newusername/Documents and
settings/ isn't the right way?

If I check from Controlpanel/System/ User Profiles/ there is not anymore
left the profile which was the right one.

Regards,

Juha

Hi,

I solve this by (in the registry) changing the profile path for
the new user to point to the old user's profile folder (the user
needs to log on at least once first).

If the user is not a local admin, you might need to to something on the
permission side. Use tip 4631 and 2240 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at
