My profile on the current workstation is messed up and I want to recreate it. The account is not a local Windows account but an Active Directory one, making this a bit more difficult.
To start off, I created a new Windows account, giving it Administrator privileges by adding it to the Administrators group. Then, log on with that user and
- Move my user account files (c:\users\<xy> somewhere else)
- Remove user SID at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
The key to remove is the one that points to the above file location for the profile files. - Log off and then on as the above user to recreate the profile.
