How to enable "copy to" user profile button in Windows 7

In Windows 7  Microsoft decided to disable the ability to copy profiles to the Default profile using this classic method. In fact, the only profile you can copy from is the “Default” profile itself! This prevents you from customizing a profile, and copying it anywhere.


There is a piece of software that will enable this button again.

Simply download "Windows enabler"( its a freeware Utility you can download it from internet) and start it as system administrator (right click on programs symbol) on the box where you want to copy the local user profile to the roaming profile. Go to the system tray and activate the "windows enabler". Now the "copy to" button gets enabled once you click on it.

Compacting the NTDS Database NTDS.DIT

Compacting the AD DS database NTDS.DIT improves performance. The improvement varies depending on amount of changes to the database.

Stop "Active Directory Domain Services" (also stops the services below)
-File Replication Service
-Kerberos Key Distribution Center
-Intersite Messaging
-DNS Server


ntdsutil
ntdsutil: activate instance ntds
Active instance set to "ntds".
ntdsutil: files
Service "NTDS" is running. Stop the service before binding to this Active Direct
ory database.
ntdsutil: files
file maintenance: compact to c:\temp
Initiating DEFRAGMENTATION mode...
Source Database: C:\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit
Target Database: c:\temp\ntds.dit
Defragmentation Status (% complete)
0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
...................................................
It is recommended that you immediately perform a full backup
of this database. If you restore a backup made before the
defragmentation, the database will be rolled back to the state
it was in at the time of that backup.
Compaction is successful. You need to:
copy "c:\temp\ntds.dit" "C:\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit"
and delete the old log files:
del C:\Windows\NTDS\*.log
quit
quit



copy "c:\temp\ntds.dit" "C:\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit"
del C:\Windows\NTDS\*.log
