Hello, here is a minor puzzle:
I am engaged supporting a network consisting of 20 XP home clients in a
workgroup...laughably the name of the workgroup is "Domain". Users access
files and folders on a Win2k pro system. they call it their "Server". This
workgroup has been unmanaged for quite some time and is a bit of a mess.
There is a Domain at the location as well. It consists of of a single DC
running Win 2003 Server Standard and is configured as a DC. AD is running and
so is DNS. There are a handful of clients running XP Pro.
Here is my mission - I need to decide whether to upgrade or install XP pro
on all of the workgroup clients. The users will have new Domain accounts, but
it would be nice if I could export their profiles to their new domain
accounts. The hardware within the org is all compliant w/ XP Pro.
Any suggestions to make this process as smooth as possible would be
appreciated.
Thx,
Stone
