Hi, we are in Windows2000 domain, and I have renamed a number of network accounts. The had the users log out at the time, and then log in again when the name chnage had been completed.
It seems that although the user is able to log into the domain again immediately, a new desktop profile (and folder)is not created under Documents and Settings, etc - the old folder name still remains.
No bad thing this as there is less hassel in recreating icons etc but I was wondering why this was happening, and will this come back to haunt me. I assume it is because the SID has renamed the same but could someone clarify.

Cheers
