Greetings - and thanks again for help!
This is what I've done...
ON SERVER:
Removed computer
Removed user
Then recreated new user and new computer accounts (still on server).
On client laptop:
Logged on as Administrator.
Ran /connectcomputer wizard
Got message that the computer is already connected to the domain. I have
attemped to connect the user before.
Proceeded and tried to migrate local user settings got the private files
error.
I have found the support document doucument:
Article ID : 886210
Last Review : October 15, 2004
Revision : 1.0
"The following user settings are private" error message when you try to
migrate a user's
profile to Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;886210
which says to delete the files in temp directory listed in the log file as
returned true for private...
Shall I proceed with this then rerun the /connectcomputer wizard?
If it helps it seems this happens when, as I create a user account, I do not
select the check box to create a computer account. I do not select this
checkbox if I have already created an account on the server for that client
computer.
I tried this once before and the user profile ended up embedded in the
Administrator profile and I had to do a system restore to get the users email
back. This might not be related though...
Also as far as the client computer already being connected to the domain. Do
I need to remove this status if I am migrating the user with the new Computer
and user accounts I set up on the server?
....wondering how to do this -- thanks for any help!
