SBS 2003 Log workstation onto domain but keep local user profile?
Hello all,
I just installed a new server in our office with SBS 2003. I thought I would just use it as a file or standalone server since we only have 7 active workstations in the office and I thought Active Directory might be overkill.Then I found out that SBS won't let you do that, it only likes to be a domain controller (unless someone knows a hack to demote it) the problem/question is:
Everyone (as well as me) wants to keep their present desktops/user profiles including their fav email client, programs, desktop icons..ect. Is there a way to log onto the domain but not change ANYTHING on the workstations?
This would be so awesome if I could figure this out..
Thanks for the help!! 
Evidence the previous users have never used SBS.
When you properly setup SBS it is VERY stable. Further, when you PROPERLY connect computers to the SBS domain, using the http://YourSBSserverName/ConnectComputer link, the wizard will allow you to migrate your local profiles to the new user account domain profiles.
If you just right click my computer and add it to the domain, then you're not setting things up properly and are ASKING for trouble. SBS works GREAT - if you use the wizards and set it up properly. (This is why it's always a good idea to install it a few times to LEARN the processes it uses AND to hire a consultant if you don't care to learn it so that it gets done RIGHT.
