username.domain

[Fredrick A. Zilz]

Please point me in the correct direction.

I have a small network - 30 users all xp proffesional w/ current sp. We run
Windows 2003 servers.

If I look at documents and settings on any of my computers there is a folder
for each user named "username".

However, I have one computer where the folders are named "username.domain".

The only reason I care, is that I am trying to trouble shoot an access adp
connectivity issue and this is about the only thing I see different with
this computer.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

username.domain is a domain account profile, just the username byitself
is the local machine account

Yes, but all of my users on all of my other computers are just the opposite.
Their domain accounts have a folder with just their username as the folder
name. None of my users log in with a local account, they log in with domain
accounts.

What would make this individual computer record the username.domain for the
users profile where as all of my other computers record username.

Ok, I have found that this is normal behavior, during a restore or
reinstall, if the users folder already exists in the documents and settings
folder. WIndows creates a new folder in the format user.domain.
