W2K: Probably missing the obvious...

[Jesse E. Gardner]

Scenario: OS = 2000 Laptop = 2K Pro           Server = 2K Adv Srvr   Laptop: I have been using an ID (admin level [local]) for years (profile is just how I want it).  Created a network at home.  Can see the network, but when I create a network ID I lose my desktop (profile) settings.  I especially don’t want to re-configure Outlook 2K for this profile.  My already existing mail is not accessible.  It’s a pain rebooting to access my current email setup.  Question, do I copy the profile to gain old settings (desktop) on network ID?  If so, is that done using the copy to feature in the profile section?  Can I add this local account (ID) to the server (AD)?   I am doing something wrong and I can’t put my finger on it.  I just know it…   Server: See above…  (got carried away)   Note: For those of you that have never used W2K Advanced Server, try it.  You’ll love it!!    As always, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.  So, thanks in advance.   Jesse E.
