We struggled really hard to make this work, and came to the conclusion it
wasn't worth it. The two profiles have significantly different structures - V2
profiles use different folders for lots of stuff - and keeping them synched is
more or less impossible.
Create a %username%.V2 folder (With appropriate permissions) and it will make a
new 2008 profile in there. Work out what your users *really* want/need from
their old profiles, and copy those items separately. It will be a pain but will
work.

Subject: [THIN] Migrating TS Profiles from 2003 to 2008
I have three terminal services servers, running on Win 2003. I am in the
process of creating a Remote Desktop Services server on Win 2008 R2, to replace
one of these. (Eventually I want to do this for all three.) I've got the new
server created. When I try to use it, though, I get an error message. Something
along the lines of "Your profile could not be loaded so you're using a
temporary one." (Our TS Profiles are stored on a Win 2008-based file server.) I
found that if I deleted my profile, then the new RDS server re-created my
profile and everything was fine.
However, we don't want to delete all our TS users' profiles.
I believe at least some of our users will be using both 2003-based TS servers
and the 2008R2-based RDS server, until all three are migrated.
I found an article (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=947025) but it's really
talking about roaming profiles, not TS profiles, and it doesn't seem to fully
apply. It talks about creating two types of profiles and using Folder
Redirection.
Anyone have a good article that will help me get this going?
Thanks,
Rob
