Join/UnJoin SBS 2008 domain - local profiles

Asked by wwITman in SBS Small Business Server, Programming User Management, Windows 7

Tags: SBS 2008, join domain, local profiles

Setup new SBS 2008 server for testing purposes.  When I joined my first computer (Vista Ultimate) to the new domain, the SBS join domain wizard did a fine job of moving the local users's profile data to a new domain profile on the computer.  But, I was hoping to retain the local profile.
1) Is this behavior because of the SBS join domain wizard?  I have never worked with SBS before and normally manually join a computer to a domain.  The local profile is untouched.
2) Can an existing local profile be "copied" with the wizard AND still be retained as a local profile.
3) If I un-join the computer from the domain, what will happen to the domain user profile on the computer?
4) If the wizard wipes out the local profile, then what do I have to fall back on if un-joining the domain?
Need to now join my primary Windows 7 computer but don't want to mess up my local profiles - hope to get an expert opinion before going any further.
Anyone?
