Nope....I am not in fact on a domain! Thought I was...but
I am not....does that explain anything better?? -----Original Message----- I think I know what happened. But not how. I also find it wierd there is no domain (if there's a welcome screen then there is no domain). But it may be a novel network. Wgen a profile is unavailable for a reason windows creates a new one. That seems to have happened here. But we really need to know how the network is configured. Because windows works differently depending on it. I have this thought. That you were on a domain but no longer.
