Unfortunately there's more to a profile than just the folder.
Under "HKLM\software\microsoft\Windows NT\currentVersion\Profilelist" are
the reference pointers that windows uses to associate user SID's with their
profile directory.
However you cannot really just blanket copy the "profilelist" registry key
from the old server to the new server, as the profile list also contains
information on special local server profiles (local service, network
service, etc) and you don't want to cause issues with those.
It MIGHT be easier to go through the profilelist on the new server and
modify the "ProfileImagePath" subkey to point at the "copied" profile for a
user. Doing this manually would likely be dependant on the number of
accounts that need to be changed.
IE -
ProfileImagePath value = %systemdrive%\documents and settings\
username.tdwilliamson
You modify it too:
ProfileImagePath value = %systemdrive%\documents and settings\username
Modifications like this should be TESTED, and done when the affected user
account is not logged on the server.
It's also highly likely that a reboot would be required after making a
change like this, to ensure that the OS picks up the change.
Not very pretty really, but this process should get your users connecting to
their copied profiles. You may find however that there are other problems
that may arise from copying over profiles between different servers like
this.
