Server 2003 / Windows 7 Pro Domain Profiles Question
Greetings,
I'm looking for clarification regarding Windows 7 Pro & Server 2003 Active Directory Setup:
I first Setup and logged into Windows 7 Professional with same username and password that I will need to join the local office domain.
I THEN successfully joined office domain.
Restarted PC.
I logged into the computer with log in screen displaying:
ComputerName\UserName.
After logging in with ComputerName\Username I reviewed the
System Properties>Advanced Settings>Computer Name Tab and it reads as:
Full ComputerName = CompuerName.domain.local
Domain = Domain.local
My questions are:
1. Since I logged into the computer as "ComputerName\UserName am I actually logged into the domain given the info I included above?
2. When the log in screen displays ComputerName\Username is this user & PC governed by the Domain Policies?
3. If I have the users log in with log in screen displaying ComputerName\UserName are there any known issues using Windows 7 Pro with a Server 2003 Active Directory Domain setup?
I can log out of ComputerName\UserName and then "Switch" Users to log in in as Domain\UserName successfully but I obviously have 2 different Profiles.
Any insight / info is appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you all for your time and expertise. I plan to utilize ProfWiz to relocate the local profile settngs already configured into the correct "Domain" profile on the local PC and have all users begin logging in under the DomainName\user login. Again, I appreciate the time you took to respond to my question.
I think there is local computer policy and any domain policies (including default, any ou specific gets applied) and the logon screen appears. Since the computer is joined as the member of domain it will show its properties. From the logon screen you decide to logon locally and it takes it locally but whatever settings applied until remains and any policies pertaining user from domain is not applied
hope this answers
