hello there,
thank you for your response
how do I find out if the SID is different and the user name is the same, is any sripts I can run to identify SID on local PC and ACtive directory.
I will speak to the window migration team and found out how the copying profile. I believe they run also script on old local machine and then the give new laptop to the user to log in .
I will update you soon .

You can verify it here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
I thought about it a bit and if you recreated a user in AD, this might be another reason for this behavior.

Example :
if the user1 logged in with legacydomain\User1 and enter his password , my question is here what should the user local profile(C:\Users\user1) call is it User1 or User.legacydomain.
and if the same user1 try to log in with SecondDomain\User1 to same laptop what is the profile name folder call please C:\Users\user1.secondDomain. or User1 . i hope i explained good .
last question please:

if the user1 logged in with legacydomain\User1 and enter his password , my question is here what should the user local profile(C:\Users\user1) call is it User1 or User.legacydomain.I guess that the domain user would be in C:\Users\user1 and the local user would be in C:\Users\user1.COMPUTERNAME
and if the same user1 try to log in with SecondDomain\User1 to same laptop what is the profile name folder call please C:\Users\user1.secondDomain. or User1 . i hope i explained good .I am not sure if I understand this one.

For instance, a domain user is named "user1". The path to the user folder should be C:\Users\user1.
However, someone creates a local user before named "user1". After the local user "user1" logs in, the path to his user folder will be C:\Users\user1 and the path to the domain user folder will be C:\Users\user1.domain.
I assume it might also happen when you copy C:\Users\user1 from an old system to a new system before a domain user "user1" logs in. Then the system sees C:\Users\user1, therefore creates C:\Users\user1.domain.
