Hi,

Our company just joined with another company and would like to them to use
our ABC domain for logon. My question is how can I migrate them to our
domain but won't loose their profile and setting? and all setting will be
them same except the logon to domain will be ABC. Thanks

Before you join their computers to the domain and give them new
accounts OR migrate them (e.g., with ADMT) make sure to just
backup (XCOPY /s etc.) their existing profiles and then once
they logon to the "new domain" you can overwrite their NEW
profile with the old one.

No big deal. Profiles are just files and subdirectories.
 
* Migrate their accounts, groups and memberships to your domain
* migrate the computer accounts and computers to the domain where you also
translate security on the computer and process profiles
* migrate their data on servers or the servers itself to your domain
* translate the security of the data

example tool needed: ADMTv3
