Your profile should still be where it was, you are just using a new profile now. I am not up on the methods for copying the profile from one user to the next as I don't care about them. Iwould expect you could log on with a new ID, then log off, then take the old profile and copy it over the new profile created for the new ID. You will have to be logged into another ID to do that though because you couldn't overwrite nor copy the policy you are currently using.
Folders would only be missing from your profile settings, so like "My Documents", etc. Nothing outside the profile should be missing except Domain Controller stuff. Can't connect to the internet shouldn't be an issue unless those settings were profile specific and you should be able to reconfigure. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alicia Szerenyi Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 11:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] urgent help needed you know joe that i promoted the DC and then domote it again uninstalling AD properly and the configuration of the server changed completely...can i restore the previous configuration? the desktop changed, some folders are missing, can't connect to the internet, etc. -----Mensaje original----- De: joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: jueves, 05 de agosto de 2004 12:18 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: RE: [ActiveDir] urgent help needed This is why I indicated you should promote it and demote it and then you are back at square one and can start the promo back into a useable domain. There are all sorts of things in the file system and registry handled when you do a proper demotion. jeo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alicia Szerenyi Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] urgent help needed After i forced demotion of the DC changing the property from LanmanNT to ServerNT, i can't access AD (obviously)...but i have left a lot of files and stuff from the previous install of AD...how do i get rid of all that junk? can i just delete everything? i don't think i can...i have files in the folder c:\winnt\system32, and a lot of other places...
