Domain Change. Files missing.
Dear Experts
Recently, we needed to move a machine from one windows domain to another.
On the old domain, remote backup is carried out on the server daily and user data files should have been stored on the server for inclusion in the backup. Th person who used this machine has long since left the organisation so we were not sure where files were stored wwtc.
Before the machine was disjointed from the old domain, we decided to backup all the files on the local machine as a precaution. Then the machine was joined to the new domain. Since this occurred, we discovered that files are missing. Cheked the remote backup files but they were not there. I believe that a profile was missed during the local backup and this is where the files were located. Can any one help us?Is there anything we can do?

Probably you have done, but being an administrator having access to all folders and files, perform a search on C: drive.

Is there a risk that the files are gone - in spite of the fact that I did not delete anything from the server or PC?
