Domain accounts

I can't set up a domain account with VIsta 5728.
I have tried wired and wireless. I have removed my pc from the domain and
readded it and purged off old accounts from the pc and tried to add them back
again.

I know that I'm not the only one having this issue. Has anyone come out with
a work around?

Ok I have found the problem and it dates back to Win XP. The OS has locked
the account. It can be fixed by editing a key in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\ProfileList.
Under here you will find some long numbers these are known as the Users SID,
if there are a lot of people logged onto the machine there will be a long
list in here.(Hopefully not). Click on 1 of them and check the details in the
right hand pane and it should give you a profilePath.

If you have blown away you profle, delete the key.
