Copying Profile does nothing for local settings -
which includes email etc. (Outlook/Express): Go into regedit; locate your
profiles SID as a subkey of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. Copy the GUID in the Guid string value into a new
String Value called, say, OldGuid. Identify the GUID of the profile you had and
want to continue using - you can use the SID to GUID map in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid.
Replace the string Value of the GUID with the guid containing your old profile
in your new profile. Then logoff and logon. This will 'redirect' your new
profile (in its entirety) to your old profile.

Subject: W2K: Probably missing the
obvious...
Scenario:
OS
= 2000
Laptop = 2K
Pro
Server = 2K
Adv Srvr
Laptop:
I have
been using an ID (admin level [local]) for years (profile is just how I want
it). Created a network at
home. Can see the network, but
when I create a network ID I lose my desktop (profile) settings. I especially don’t want to
re-configure Outlook 2K for this profile. My already existing mail is not
accessible. It’s a pain rebooting
to access my current email setup.
Question, do I copy the profile to gain old settings (desktop) on
network ID? If so, is that done
using the copy to feature in
the profile section? Can I add
this local account (ID) to the server
(AD)?
I am
doing something wrong and I can’t put my finger on it. I just know
it…
Server:
See
above… (got carried
away)
Note:
For those of you that have never used W2K Advanced Server, try it. You’ll love it!!
As
always, any assistance will be greatly appreciated. So, thanks in
advance.
