kansasskydiver 0 #1 June 15, 2006 We've got a serious problem with one of our Win2k machines in the building that has us all stumped. User attempts to login with her account, suceeds but the user profile is incorrect and basically logs the user in as a new user (connect to aol for 6 months free crap etc). Log in as administrator and look at the users and the user exists properly though now another user exists which is username.computername We deleted the uid.cpu name and rebooted, logged in as uid and pw and got the same thing, looked at the users and the uid.cpuname had been recreated again... I'm having trouble finding the proper search criteria online to answer the question, has anyone seen this problem before and know how to fix it?<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!

PhreeZone 20 #2 June 15, 2006 Delete the user account and any duplicates. Also remove the user ID from the system/tree. Recreate the profile. I've seen SID's get stranded before and cause this.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labrys 0 #3 June 15, 2006 delete the uid.computername profile and rename the uid profile. log in as the user to recreate the uid profile. log off the user and back in as admin. go the the profiles tab in system properties and copy the renamed profile to the new uid profile. make sure you give the user permission to use it.Owned by Remi #?

Squeak 17 #5 June 15, 2006 instead of deleting it change the file name so the directory cant find it. then create a whole new profile. That way anything on the old profile can be transfered overYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

Amazon 7 #7 June 15, 2006 I guess no one creates temp/dummy profiles with all the needed perms and groups etc anymore huh....just copy it and rename it to the new user. You can create one for each class of user on up thru administrator. Saves a whole bunch of headache for account administration. I SEEEM to remember stuff like that from long ago when setting up peoples help desks for them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
