| | migrating user account Hi All: I have Vista Business sp1 on a workstation, which is part of 2008 domain. The box had been previously running XP pro sp3, but I did a fresh install. I had been logging into XP as an admin. When I first installed Vista I was prompted to create a user account, which I did, and then manually migrated over my documents, imported my Outlook Express psts into Mail, etc. So I'm logging in as a local user. I joined the computer to the domain and everything is fine, except I need to authenticate on the domain whenever I need to do something like open a server share. I'd rather log onto the workstation as a domain user, but I realize if I do this I will lose all the settings in the local user account. Is there any easy way to migrate the settings from a local user account to a domain user, without manually copying everything folder by folder? |
