have you got a backup of the system state?

Well, it seems I fixed the problem right before I left work yesterday. I re-created the user exactly as they were before, and it appears to have worked. They retained access to everything they had before, including email. Still giving the full points and a A rating to trippleO7 for the great resource, though. I had never heard of that method. I'll have to save that article in case of another boo-boo :P<br />

Thanks to both of you for responding!

Unfortunately during cleanup processes, I deleted a user from active directory. I tried recreating the user, but when they log on, nothing is setup and they have no access to their outlook. How do I go about making active directory realize it's the same person so they can regain access to their old information and settings? I tried the windows support links found in various posts on this sight, but it's gibberish to me. I'm a novice at this, so if anyone can put it in plain english I'd appreciate it.

Recover user from Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
