Why is it adding the computer name to the user?

Not wanting to bring my work home, but it was seriously bugging me...

Setting up some laptops for use with a Citrix server, one didn't seem to do what the others did. As part of my script, it creates a user called "user". However, when I log onto the local machine, simply with the username "user" it creates a new profile in "C:\Documents and Settings" called "user.LAPTOP" where LAPTOP is the machine name.

How can I stop it from using this profile, and make it instead use the simple "user" folder?

It uses the .<machine name> is there is another profile on the machine with the same name.

You'd either need to delete the original profile or put some stuff in the script to first look for a use.machinename profile and if it can't find it then revert to the original user profile.

This could be another ordering that needs to be perfect then. It's turning into a ridiculous install, everything needs to be done precisely the same order otherwise I come across problems like this!

I'll try that in morning and get back if it's not fixed Can rest my mind now
