Thanks again for the reply. Your links are most helpful. Your research
abilities are terrific!
In this case I don't believe move user is the problem, apparently the user
entry in the registry is the issue. Why i dont know. One can only assume that
it is an upgrade from 98 which was not domain orentiated. I am having some
other weird issues in units that were upgraded from XP home which was also
not domain orentiated.
