Hello,

I haven't tested it yet but it seems that when you rename a domain user, it creates a new user profile. The problem is that I would like to keep my user profile as it is but with a different name. Do you have any ideas, please?

    Hello
    so far there are no changes regarding the machines the user has already logged into.
    The local profile will keep the old name, but there's no issue since it remains associated with the modified account. This will not be the case on other machines.

    My advice is to create a new account and if there is a corresponding home directory online, it will just need to be assigned to this new account.
