Hi all,

Need some advise on this issue:

After I configured a workstation to join a Windows 2000 domain and after I
log on to the domain, all my desktop icons disappeared and there is no email
account..

How can fix this?

This behavior is DEFAULT and by design. You'll have to either recreate all
of them because once you join a domain, it's a COMPLETELY different profile.

You could also copy the other profile to the new profile. Go into My
Computer, rt-click, System properties, Users Profile tab, select the
original one, Copy To, browse to the new one..

But for mail, (and possibly other apps), you'll still have to recreate the
settings since they are user specific and this is a different users.

Oic... But what if we are not using Microsoft Exchange server but we are
using Unix mail server(sendmail and POP3), the email stuffs(all messages and
acoounts) will still be intact
right, when I copy the profile over right?

Doesn't matter if using Exchange or any other mail server. Usually settings
are unique to the logged on profile. I haven't tried it yet, tu give it a
try and test it.
