We needed to change the domain that our users log in to. To do this we logged
into the new domain as each user on their respective computers, logged out,
logged in as the local administrator, removed the folder username.newDomain
from documents and settings, added the domain user permission to the old
username folder, renamed it to username.newDomain, and viola they had their
original desktop etc.
The only problem we encountered with this technique is that when we run
Office apps, a few odd things happen unless we make the domain user a member
of the local administrators group.
The odd things are;
Outlook will not start at all.
Word and Excel ask for the username and initials every time they start.
Firefox web browser will not display any web pages.
My initial thought is that it has something to do with the user.dat file
stored in the profile, but I do not know how to fix it.
For the moment we have everyone logging in as local admin, but we would like
to change this back.
Any ideas?
Paul
