I want to clone a user profile with same
priviliges,securities and everything.I am using Window NT
Platform.I have been able to clone the GUI part but not
the Securities and Priviliges. I copied/exported the
ntuser.dat from the old profile to the newly created
profile but didnt work.Can someone please help me out
here!!!
 
After creating the new user account and logging on at least once, then while
logged on as another user (with administrative rights) Control
Panel|System|User Profiles, select the oldprofile, Copy To, Browse to
%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\newprofile
Change "Permitted to use:" to "newprofile" OK
 
I don't have any experience with NT but if it's like 2000
there is an applet under My computer/properties/user
profiles that lets you select a profile and copy that to
another profile. I have tried copying profiles like you
described but, like it did for you, its hit or miss. Even
the system applet in 200 doesnt work flawlessly. See my
posting for more detail.
