Arin 0 Posted October 23, 2001 have my winxp machine attached to a network at school. Before I had the admin set me up an account (which I cannot physicaly do) I made myself Administrator on the computer. When I got hooked up to the network, I had to start all over with my profile and such so I made my new Ahnell.SEIBERT name as an administrator aswell. Well, I wanted my old setting so I coppied the old administrator folder into the Ahnell.SEIBERT folder. But that did not work. Some funkey **** went on and It turned out that I also had the account Ahnell when I log on to the seibert domain... So basically I ended up coppying all of the contents in my origional Administrator folder into my ahnell and ahnell.SEIBERT folders. Well, now when I take my computer home for break, everything will be messed up. All my settings for school domain logon will be under another profile while I will be on Administrator. Got all that? Its confussing but here is what I am asking: Can I Manage the profiles so all of my settings are based in one folder, so when I switch to Administrator, of If I switch to my school domain logon name, they both have the same settings? Thanks. -------------------- :: A l I e n w a r e :: A u o r a D D R :: :: 1.4ghz T-Bird @ 1533ish 1.85ish Vcore :: Asus A7M266 :: 384mb PC2100 Kingston DDR ram (256/128) :: PNY GeForce III 64mb @ 210ish/500ish :: Seagate Barracuda 40GB:9r3002-301 (15gb/25gb Partitions *NTFS*) :: SB Live!

TaoArcher 0 Posted October 23, 2001 Actually, if you're not going to be away from the network for long you dont have to change anything. If you try to logon with yoru domain account while not connected, it will pause for a minute and time out. Then you'll get logged on anyway (using cached account information) and still be able to use the profile for your domain account. Share this post Link to post
