Windows 2000 profiles
WE have a workstation running windows 2000 professional which logs on to 2000 SBS server.We have a new user who is a direct replacement for his predecessor.I only want to change his logon information and exchange mailbox but still want the same profile loaded(same programs on desktop etc).Is there an easy way to do this?Any help much appreciated!!

mdiglio - I'm trying to accomplish the same thing. I have already done what you suggested but there are some permission issues that aren't getting copied somewhere. The desktop appears to have the same icons but when, for instance, you try to use Word, it acts as if you're a new user. Even if you give it what it asks for it still doesn't behave properly. Other programs have similar problems. There must be another step here.

Have tried this but it is unable to log me on to the exchange server.Do i have to create a user through active directory to make this work.Sorry quite new to exchange so still finding my feet!!

Mdiglio , i tried what you asked me and it has gone ok apart from the fact that i cannot logon to the exchange server as it asks me for a username ,domain and password.I put these in but it still does not allow me access to it.Any clues what to do next??

Hello,
Sorry I have never used Exchange and don't know what to suggest doing next
My initial guess is that this is not a problem with a profile,
rather it is a permission issue on the Exchange Server.
Can this user login to exchange from another machine?
