Hello,
Your old version of the server creates a unique ID per each computer and
user account on the system. When you created the new version of the
server, the ID's of the local workstations do not appear or match what
is on the new server, hence you need to unjoin and rejoin. This deletes
the domain information on the local machine and recreates a new account
on the network server with a new ID. Doing this, now means, a user
logging on is not using the locally stored profile, rather a new profile
from the server as the user has a new ID and is treated as a different
person to the original person. They may have the same logon name but the
ID is different. Servers work with the ID's not the names and the
ntuser.dat file etc will all nolonger correspond with the logged in
users information.
there are various migration kits available for profiles. You can also
copy the users old profile to the local default user profile (on the
workstation) and when you log on for the first time, merge this with the
new logon profile.
Other than this, you can manually copy over internet favorites and many
other items but not everything can be transplanted in this way.
