If you haven't a lot of profiles (or users), you can fix this problem by manual edit the registry. I don't know if it really works, because I had to do this after a Win NT4 to Win2k migration, but maybe it work in your case too: -Log on with the new SID -Now you will find an additional folder in the "Documents and Settings" folder containing the user- and domain name (an maybe other character) -log out, and login in with the local administrator account -open regedit and move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList -you will find several entry's named by SID's -Find the entry from the new user which was created as you logged in before (you recognize it by the ProfileImagePath-Value) -Change this Value to the old profile path -You may have to restart the computer now and it should work Regards, Marco. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
