Using a locally stored profile on a Windows Server 2008R2 Domain

-

we currently have windows server 2000 domain. our users have profiles stored locally on pc's (windows vista). domain controller having lot of issues, have decided rebuild our domain , move windows server 2008r2. not going transfer our user ad accounts new server....just starting scratch. wondering if there going issues accessing users profiles once join new domain?

our plan move needed data(files , applications) new server. then un-join domain on pc's. power off old dc , build new one. keep same ip address , server name , domain name  ....dcpromo install dns , set new users accounts,but same user names before. join new domain. 

i sure there has more steps in last part of process provide new domain user account have  access old domain user account.

i hoping feed on process.

thanks help

hi,

if going setup new domain, starting scratch , planning join workstations new domain, surely end accessing user's old profiles issue.

however, there solution that, since profiles on local machine, backup local user profile, rebuild new domain, connect workstations new domain , restore old user profile.

or can use usmt (user state migration tool) :

second option:
instead of new domain, can introduce new dc same name, ip in domain , remove old dc, in case need not worry user's profile.

see complete steps remove old dc , introduce new dc same name , ip address
