Hello Johan,

Why don't take another name? Makes live easier.

Anyway, maybe this is a solution for you:

But whatever you doing, backup your data before starting or create an image
from the old one.

Best regards

You can do this if you completely rebuild the new server /
domain controller. You will then have to rejoin every PC
to the domain controller and Windows will create a different
profile folder on each PC for every user.
