Yeah, SBS ties many things behind the scenes for user and computer accounts (AD and Exchange). I checked out your link and at the bottom of the page it stated that different OS versions act different when applying this method.<br />
<br />
This situation involves an employee leaving the company and a new employee taking the old employee's position. If I rename the old user to the new, I have to consider whether it is worth the bother. Log in script changes, Exchange mailbox, User folder, SID hacks etc.....<br />
<br />
I was hoping that somebody on EE would have an automated (majic wand) solution.<br />
<br />
It seems it would be less risky to create the new user from scratch.

I ended up configuring new accounts. I would try ecarbone's solution on a test environment but not on an SBS server that was in production.

Is there a way to replicate the settings of an existing user account on an SBS 2003 R2 server for a new user account? Or do I need to document the settings of the existing account, then create the new user account with the documnented settings? <br />
<br />
If it is possible, Please throw me that bone.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
