Fyi - it showed up as test.domainname probably because you just deleted
the folder, but I'm guessing that the Profiles tab in the new server had
a reference to the test.000. If the profile is in docs&settings as a
result of a user logging in, I think there's a registry link to their
folder. That's why the first time got test.000, because the 'registry'
didn't know to use the Test folder. Likewise, since test.000 wasn't
there the next time the user came in, it created the test.domain folder.
At least I think that's how it works. :)

OK! I deleted the test and test.000 directories; logged in as domain
user
"test"; logged out. went to old TS, and went to COPY profile. Had to
copy it
to the folder "test.DOMAINNAME", but it did come over. Good!
Except that at least one of the icons is point to what is now an older
version of an app (had to go up a version, in order for the app to work
on
Win2003, and the new version changed the default location directory).=20
At this point, I may just tell my users that they'll need to set their
desktops up all over again. :-) The only thing that might be a hassle
would
be Internet favorites.
thanks for the help everybody. I'm sure I'll be back soon. :-)

You might try logging in with the Test user first, to let it create the
'Test' folder, then copy directly to that folder. Delete the test and
test.000 first, of course.

OK. I shared out "Documents and Settings" on the new TS; copied the
profile
from the old TS to the new (via the COPY TO button); verified that the
domain user "test" had FULL CONTROL over the new directory; and logged
in as
the user "test" via RDC.
I didn't get the old profile; instead it created a new one (using
"test.000"
instead of using the existing profile called "test").

If you copy to Document and settings, you should see all your usernames
=3D3D
on this directory. The system will look for the profiles under there by
=3D3D
design so if the folders are there and the system/user has permissions =
=3D
=3D3D
on it, it should work right away.

As I said, I tried that. And I can choose the new server I want to copy
=3D3D
them
to. But I don't know how the new system will then know that the user's
profile is stored in the new directory i copied it to.

Or use the control panel applet to copy the profiles.

Just use NTBACKUP and backup the documents and settings folder to a
file.
Then restore on the 2003 TS (do not restore permissions as the local
accounts on the original TS have nothing to do with the new accounts)
under the same directory.
As pointed by Minero, new profiles should be better though.

1. I've heard that it's better to start off with brand new profiles
when
moving from Win2k to Windows 2003. It's much cleaner.
But, if you still want to copy the profiles, I would suggest using xcopy
to
copy the files from Win2k to the new server. xcopy will allow you to
copy
file permissions as well.
2. Unless the new system uses the old system name, yes you will have to
update the users' profile location.
I've had to do this many times and I found it's just easier to create a
system variable such as:
profsrv=3D3D3D3Dnewserver ; where newserver is the name of you Windows =
=3D
2003
server.
A reboot is required for the new variable to take effect.
This way if you move your profiles again, all you have to do is change
the
variable, no need to update users' account.
I hope this helps.
