An employee has been logging onto his machine locally and creating various shortcuts, saved files, etc. on the local account he uses as well as installing and using a variety of design/engineering software. We run AD and he already has a domain acct on the local machine which he has used in the past, he just doesn't use it. Long story. Anyway, he is having issues accessing shared domain resources and connecting to Exchange etc. is slow and tedious because he is constantly having to pass his credentials to the server as he's not logged onto the domain with his AD name. I could log on as a third, different (administrator) locally and simply move his users folder from his current account to the domain account, thereby making all his current settings the same when he logs into the domain, but I'm having trouble deciding how to move software over to the new account. I guess I will just reinstall everything locally under the domain user acct. Am I overlooking an easy solution? Thanks!
