First time on the board...hope anyone can help a bit.
I just finished helping (well, screwing) a friend who recently purchased his laptop from his former employer. At work he was on the work domain, and I told him that he didn't need to use that profile anymore, so just configure the computer to not use the work domain anymore (switch it to be in a workgroup instead of the domain.)
Well, after doing that, he obviously couldn't login to the domain user profile he had. Fortunately we knew his local admin account and got that up (in the workgroup.) Now it looks as if all of his settings (Outlook .pst, my docs) associated with the domain profile are gone! Did that happen when I switched him to the workgroup from the domain, or did something else happen that I'm clueless about? Can moving from a domain to a wkgrp delete data in the domain profile???
TIA
