Problem migrating local user account (not listed) to SBS 2003 domain account using SBS Network Config. Wizard
Greetings.I successfully upgraded a Vista Home Premium machine to Vista Ultimate so I can join the machine to my client's Small Business Server 2003 domain.Both the SBS 2003 and Vista machines are fully updated and patched. I currently have seven XP Pro machines as members of the domain.After a few stumbling blocks with IE7 security, I was able to run the Small Business Server Network Configuration Wizard via http://<server name>/ConnectComputer.At the "Assign users to this computer and migrate their profiles" screen of the Wizard, I can add one of the "Available Users" to the "Users assigned to this computer".But in the "Select the name from the list that represents your previous user account" section, the Assigned User is listed but the existing local workgroup account is not. The "Current User Settings" list box only lists "--None--".This has been the method used for joining the XP machines to the domain. Is this broken in Vista? If not, any idea how to get this working? I really, REALLY want to preserve the user's profile.Thank you for your attention,Jeff
