Thanks people. I'm sorry I didn't clarify. These machines are clones and got out on network with a pre-sysprepped image.<br />
<br />
No worries about resetting computer, I &nbsp;do that as needed. I was just particularly worried what would happen to domain user profiles(s) that had already been set up, since I had never had to do it like this. Thanks!

There are several Windows 7 computers that got on a domain before being sysprepped. They have been used for a while and have local user profiles.<br />
<br />
If I un-join domain, delete computer name in domain, sysprep and rejoin with a new name, will any local profiles still function as before? Run Sysprep generalized? <br />
<br />
If there's a best way to do this without having to apply new image? Without changing computer name? I'm all ears.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Oops! Need to sysprep AFTER a computer has joined domain and profiles have been set up
