Hi All,

I have been doing some stuff with unattended backup and installs using scripted installs and ghost. A user logs on to the system, their user account is created on partition 2 (system is on partition 1) so it is easy to restore or upgrade a system without having to do much with the user data.

This all works correctly, however the problem i have is after i restore partition 1 using ghost, and the same user logs on again, they have a new account created using the preferences in the default user profile because the system does know anything about their profile even know it is still on partition 2 - so the user profile folder is duplicated with the machine name appended. see below

before restore
d:\documents and settings\user1

after restore
d:\documents and settings\user1
d:\documents and settings\user1.machine_name

Does anyone know how to overcome this issue?

Any and all help appreciated

Hey!

It's been a while since I used this stuff, so I don't remember everything about it.

I'm posting the last file I made. You don't need all the extra files anymore, since they are al compiled into this new one.

To run the script silent just run "UPC.exe SILENT"

I think I have to start working on this again after reading the new posts..
