    Hi all
    I have a fresh Server2k8 setup with Admin as default logon account. The command promp shows the followings: C:\Users\Administrator.HUB2K8.000>. I would like to have administrator as default account and have C:\Users\Administrator\ when I start the command promp. Any body can help! I appriciate it. Thanks.

    Regards
    Da Learner!

    Hi,

    What you see in the command line is the path to your profile ADMINISTRATOR is the user name, HUB2K8 is probably name of your domain, and 000 means that this is not the first profile for this particular user, maybe previous profile was corrupted or moved and system created a new profile.
    The path that you want C:\Users\Administrator\  is available for local administrator as it is a mamber server. Domain Administrator by default should have C:\Users\Administrator.HUB2K8 without 000

    If you want to see C:\Users\Administrator you can try to delete all profiles for all administrators and then log on as Domain Administrator (not local), I am not sure though if you will have just C:\Users\Administrator I beleive you will have C:\Users\Administrator.HUB2K8

    Do not forget to backup your data brfore deleting profiles.

    Hi and thank you for your reply!
    That didn't work. Even if you do that you get back the 000 on command line and NO I don't know why.

    Well, maybe you will also have to clean your registry from the records regarding Administrator's profile. If I was on your place I would not mess with profiles only because it shows not what you want in the command line. It is up to you of course, but remember the first rule "If it works do not touch" :-)
