8.3 Deleting and Re-creating User Accounts with the Same Name (Windows XP/2000)

If you have deleted one or more Windows user accounts, and then re-created them with the same name, do the following to use iManager Workstation with the re-created account:

  1. Log in as a member of the Administrator group.

  2. Take ownership of the \system32\novell\nici\username directory. The absolute path varies between Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

  3. Delete the folder.

When the user next logs in, this folder is automatically recreated using Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI) keys of the re-created user account, and the user can then run iManager Workstation.
