Does anyone know of an easy way to copy user profiles on Windows XP for a
domain migration? I about ready to migrate all my users into a new domain.
 
CASE 1 - You don't use roaming profiles and the users only really log onto
one machine:

Move the computers to the new domain and give the users the new accounts and
login. Once they log in as the new Joe Schmoe on the new domain a new
profile will be created for them in the C:\Doc and Set\ folder called
NEWDOMAINNAME.USERNAME. Login as the Admin (or domain admin) and copy the
contents of:

C:\Docs and Set\JoeSchmoe
to
C:\Docs and Set\NEWDOMAINNAME.USERNAME

Login and the user and all the settings should be there

CASE 2 - You use roaming profiles in the old domain:

When setting up the users in the new domain make sure you copy the user
profiles from the old domain to the new one and put each profile in the
appropriate folder on the network.

CASE 3 - You don't use roaming profiles but want to:

Create the new user accounts in the new domain and copy the contents of
C:\Docs and Set\USERNAME to the folder of this users user profile on the
network.
