1.Microsoft office tools behave badly after domain change/profile co

We needed to change the domain that our users log in to. To do this we logged 
into the new domain as each user on their respective computers, logged out, 
logged in as the local administrator, removed the folder username.newDomain 
from documents and settings, added the domain user permission to the old 
username folder, renamed it to username.newDomain, and viola they had their 
desktop etc.

The only problem we encountered with this technique is that when we run 
Office apps, a few odd things happen unless we make the domain user a member 
of the local administrators group.

The odd things are;

Outlook will not start at all.
Word and Excel ask for the username and initials every time they start.

For the moment we have everyone logging in as local admin, but we would like 
to change this back.

Any ideas?

Rick:

Excuse me, when I saw "Access Security", under windows I assumed it meant 
windows access security basically security to access things under windows. 

Not "Windows Access Security."

I will try to find a more applicable group.

3.Reuse domain profile user settings in new domain

I had a domain profile (test.net\myname) that I was using for a while on my 
laptop.  I have since rebuilt the domain controller (changed from Server 2008 
full to a core installation), but the new domain is still called test.net.  I 
only have the one server so recreated the domain/forest.  I also changed the 
server name from SRVR01 to CORE01.

Is there any way for me to keep all the old profile settings that I had 
(email, desktop, etc.)?  I basically want a clone of my old user (same user 
name as well) so it's as if I never rebuilt the domain.

Thanks in advance,

4.Outlook behaving badly!!!

When I log on to outlook there is a message at the bottom of the page 
"sending 1 or 55".  As there are no messages in my outbox why does this 
happen.  I have to stop the send and receive and start it again from the 
tools bar to stop this "sending" message. The "sending "message only shows 
sending 1 of the supposed 55 and although having started send and receive 
from the toolbar it can only operate as far as 58% as another messages pops 
onto the screen asking me to enter user name and password.  I click OK but it 
comes back again and until i press cancel my send and receive status remains 
stuck at around 58%.  I have tried resetting the offending e-mail address to 
no avail -  I am not infact able to receive any e-mails for this particular 
address These two problems have been present for some week now but I do not 
know how to deal with either of them.  Help!!
