Question : "You do not have sufficient priveleges' with administrative account

I had problems moving the 'ntuser.dat' file when copying a domain profile to a local workgroup profile.  Always received that 'file in use' message.  I booted to a CD similar to 'BartPE' and was able to move it.    I also went into the registry and configured permissions on the NtUser.dat file for the user of the profile in question.  However, a few anomalies are still occuring withe the profile - one is that when attempting to change network settings, I receive 'Some of the controls on this property sheet are disabled because you do nt have sufficient priveleges."  

How can I fix permissions for this moved profile to allow it complete 'admin' access to all settings, etc?

thank you!

Answer : "You do not have sufficient priveleges' with administrative account

Wow, this is tricky.  You generally want to use the built-in profile copy within Windows to copy profiles and not brute force the file copy, i.e. BartPE.  The reason that NTUSER.DAT was locked is because once you login as that account it is locked for that whole session until you reboot the PC.  When you want to copy Profile A over Profile B, you need to use a third account on the PC to do the copy, otherwise you run into file locking issues.

Also, you probably have SID issues going on here.  A local account on a PC as a certain SID associated with the laptop itself and not the domain.  Therefore, its own SID is implanted on the profile.  If a domain user tries to access that profile, they won't be able to because the SIDs won't match.  So whatever account you are logging in, make sure that specific account has rights to the profile.
