Converting network account to local

[gopherhockey]

I am bound to Active Directory on my Mac. When I log in, its logging into AD and mapping drives etc. while still allowing me to use the Mac and administer it. (I'm sure many are doing this)

I want to completely remove AD from my home network and transfer this user (and all its settings) to a regular "local" user of my Mac.

Is this possible?

I thought about unbinding, but my guess is I won't be able to re-log in as that user. Thought about creating a second user and copying settings, but am concerned rights might get screwed up.

Maybe using the migration assistant I could transfer a time machine backup to a local user?

If your home directory is on the server, you'll need to copy the home directory over to your Mac. Then you create a new user with the same short name. Snow Leopard will see the home directory and fix permissions on it for you.
