    Can sign in locally with the domain administrator but profile won't save to it


    Dear Community,good morning.I've installed 2025 server. I've connected pro stations to the domain. Added users. Now I am trying to get roaming profiles to work.When I connect with the domain administrator on to a pro station I get a message in blue saying can't sign in. I can choose to cancel the message or sign out.Every input would be appreciated.Bjarne Petersen

    Migrate Locale Profile to Domain

    I removed my reply because watching those instructions on TechNet I started wondering if they really work with Windows 10.

    Anyway, whatever you try create first a dummy profile, customize it a bit and move it to domain. If everything works, you can then move real profiles.

    Migrate Locale Profile to Domain

    Hi Everyone,

    Does anyone know how to migrate a local profile to a domain profile without software? I have some Windows 10 computers that are setup as workgroups, but we need to move them to the company domain. I want to ensure that users don't lose their files, settings, etc. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, but I don't see "sign in as a local user". In "your info", I see the screenshot below. By the way, I want to my local profile to retain Administrator privileges.

  3. Why is the profile sign out option frozen for domain and local administrator account?

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    Why is the profile sign out option frozen for domain and local administrator account?: I've noticed something weird.
