We are in the process of moving to a Windows Domain environment.

I setup a dummy user in Active Directory, logged into Windows as that user.

I then changed the name as stated above in Active Directory.

I was able to log into Windows with the new name.

I did notice that the local profile name did not change. I assume because of the SID?

I logged out and logged in as a local admin. I renamed the local profile under Documents and Settings to the new name. I logged out and logged back in using the new name.

When logging in, it created a new profile…So for example, there was now username and username.DOMAIN

Why is it creating a new profile there? Is there a way to prevent this?
