[nfbcs] Corrupt User Profile

Sat May 17 14:05:56 UTC 2014

AGREED-- 

How nice it is now to have the reminder that it could be something 
intermediary such as a malignant
PROFILE to consider fixing rather than a full-bore rebuild.
Anyone ever get waist deep in active directory migration??  I'm sure you 
don't want to Necessarily want to rebuild all of the PCs that don't make the 
migration the first two times you move PC's onto a new Domain or Trust--

It's a heck of a lot easier to rebuild a user profile-- THAN AN ENTIRE 
MACHINE-- Even if you are using imaging methods.

DONE.
