After re-installing Small Business Server 2003 with a different Domain Name, I then needed to change the PC user account on their individual PCs. After selecting the new Domain and restarting the PC, windows XP treated the change as if I had created a new user. Windows created new settings for the user and all of the Outlook files were gone. Did Windows archive/back them up somewhere? Why did Windows create new settings for the same user?Thanks for your help!1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi bberry333, Your Windows question is more complex than what is typically answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the audience on TechNet.

Changing domains IS creating a new user. A domain is an authentication realm. Users are specific to the realm. Change the realm and you have a different user. The SID in the registry is no longer the same and that's why Windows created a new profile.Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]--------------------------------https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Brian.TillmanIf a reply helps, please vote it as helpful.
