Win XP
When I change from a domain to a workgroup, so that I can work on my home
network, the user settings don't follow. For instance outlook is empty and
the software isn't there to dock my PDA. Any help on how to get the same
settings on domain and workgroup will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...Les
You can't, doing it your way. By changing the computer from the domain
to a workgroup, you have destroyed the trust between the domain and the
machine. In doing so, you have also rendered any domain login
credentials as invalid.
Naturally, any local account you then create won't have access to the
data files belonging to a domain account.
Why not simply login using your cached domain credentials? (After
repairing the damaged domain trust issue, of course. You need to be
physically connected to the domain network, you need to have
administrative privileges to the workstation, and you need to have
administrative privileges on the domain. Then you can add the machine
back on to the domain, after having first deleted the computer's old
domain account (unless you've also renamed the computer). )
