Let's say I want to add Sally to a domain. She's already
got her profile in the PC. When I add her to the domain,
it creates a new profile for her. Her mail, desktop etc.
is gone. How do I just have everything carry over??
 
Erik,

You might want to try the Copy to... option in the .

This is expected behavior. When she first logged on to the computer locally
her profile was simply created by copying the properties of the Default User
profile to 'Sally'. In the course of using that profile she has added
things, moved things, etc. etc. etc. The same applies when she will log on
for the first time with the domain user account. There will not be a
'Sally' profile already so the Default User profile is used again. Once she
has logged on to that same computer with her domain user account you can go
to the User Profiles tab, select her 'local' profile, click on the Copy
To... button and then select her Domain User profile. This should work
nicely for you.


HTH,

Cary
