How to create a roaming user account?

When I go to change the type of account, there is a checkbox for roaming and local options. Homelessness is shaded out and not available.

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Forum the Microsoft community.

A local profile is stored on all of the local computer. A roaming profile is stored on a server and is downloaded on the computer when a user is connected and authenticated on the domain to the local computer.
If you are not on a domain and you use roaming profiles, the itinerant button will be greyed out.

Hope the above information is helpful. If you have any question back to us, we are happy to help you.

Thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks for your posting in Microsoft Community

    What type of account you created?
    Is it a limited account or administrator?
    If sa is an account limited, you will need to log in as administrator account and you must give permission to access Office

    If it's an administrator account you can access the desktop computer from the old account to which you want to access by going to
    my computer > c drive > user > desktop and copy those file on your desktop or other disc

    Account limited, you must log on as an administrator and give permission to access desktop of type lusrmgr.msc in the box RUN and press on into the House.

    Double-click the users folder > right click on the new account is created (have you creat) > properties > click on Member of > add > administrator...

    To create a new user profile

    To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.

    1. Open a user account by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

    2. Click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Click on create a new account.

    4. Type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

    To copy files to the new user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    1. Log on as a user other than the new user that you created or the user that you want to copy the files.

    2. Open Documents by clicking on the button start , and then clicking Documents.

    3. Click on the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

      If you don't see the Tools menu, press ALT.

    4. Click the view tab, click hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.

    5. Find the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed, and where ancien_nom_utilisateur represents the name of the profile you want to copy the files to.

    6. Select all the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

      • Ntuser.dat

      • Ntuser.dat.log

      • Ntuser.ini

    7. Click the Edit menu and then click on copy.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    8. Look for the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C represents the drive Windows is installed, and New_Username is the name of the new user profile you created.

    9. Click the Edit menu and then click on paste.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    10. Sign out and then sign back in as a new user.

      If you have messages in e-mail, such as Windows Mail, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. If everything is working properly, you can delete the old profile.

  • How to remove the called user account?

    Original title: user accounts

    I recently had to reinstall win 7.  After I did, I realized that I had spelled his name wrong.  I created a new account and transferred his previous info to his new account.  Unfortunately, I got it back and now when I go to the login screen I have my account (Administrator) and "other users".  I tried to re create a new user account, but all attempts failed.  The accounts are in the system, but will not be displayed on the logon screen.  When I try to go through the other user, he asks a password, that there is none. What I did and how can I fix it?  In cmd, it shows the user account I newly created

    When you go to 'other users', you can type the user name and leave the password empty (if there really was none) and click Enter to connect.

    But to restore the screen so that it shows all the user to click icons, see this answer:

    Last year, I bought my laptop and I tried to create a second user account but I placed it somehow this account as the Admin user. I don't remember the password and my file vault is of course.

    What password? You can change a password for the account, but if you do not know the FileVault password, you are in a bind. You need to call Apple directly if you their sent an emergency password when configuring the FV.

    For a user account:

    You forgot your password

    Lion or later version

    Reset a password in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

    OS X Mavericks-solve password problems,.

    OS X Lion-Apple ID can be used to reset your password for the user account.

  • Cannot create a new user account

    Hello and good evening,

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion I've had for about a month. I was creating a HP recovery disk. As I didn't have the right amount of available disks, I cancelled it. The next time I went to do the same thing, there was a message in the HP support assistant saying that the recovery disk was no longer available.  So I created an image of the system in case I ever needed to recover my OS. It was stored on drive C. I copied and pasted into the recovery d drive [I don't know if you can do].

    Anyway, some things have changed after I created the image of the system. The C: disk OS folder has been renamed Windows C:.

    I felt a little uncomfortable about the whole, so I thought that I create another user account. Hoping that this would also restore my HP Recovery disk.

    In any case, I went to do this and all seems to be OK, install applications and so on, until he came to a blue screen that says "Please wait". He remained on the screen for about 2 hours, after which the battery was flat. I repowered it and he started upward. He returned the same screen. I took the battery and plugged a USB based recovery disk. This led me to the Welcome screen, and I could log into my original user account.

    I'm not game to try again to create another user account in case something terrible happens and it does not restart.

    What should I do?

    1. create another user account give back me my recovery drive originalHP?

    2 could have another go to make him a corruption on my hard drive?

    I don't know if it's an HP or a problem of Windows 8, so I posted both.

    I hope someone can help

    Hi jcdck,

    I see that you have some problems with your recovery disk. Create a new user account won't get your recovery disk. The same file structure will be implemented regardless of the user account. You should not generally be copy or save anything on the recovery disk.

    You should be able to restore your PC to factory settings , but you need to back up personal files on an external drive or burn to a CD. It might not get your recovery back disc because this isn't the Windows function of HP.

    Your only other option is to order the recovery CD for your model. If you can provide me with your product number I should be able to get your link to order. Are which country you located?

    Thank you

  • I created a new user account, but it does not appear to connect to it. (Vista Home Premium)

    I created a new user account for my admin account.  I tried to create a standard account and I tried to change to an administrator account.  The only place that this account presents itself is managing it new user accounts in Control Panel.  If I try to change user or sign out and then sign back, it never gives me the possibility to sign until the new user account that I created.

    I read another post that said to try to restart in safe mode, what I tried without success.

    I also don't get no error messages, so I was not trying to fix anything, given that I'm not sure it's broken and I don't want to do something worse.  I only use this computer and Vista for a few days now, so I hope it's something simple I'm missing because I am not yet familiar with the operating system.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.
