I agree with Joe.
Hector,
I have a logoff script that will export the Outlook profile, signatures and
stuff to the users home drive, and a logon script that will import the
Outlook profile and copy the signatures and stuff into place. Send me a
message off-line if you want a copy.
I have some other logon/import and logoff/export scripts for other apps.
Also happy to share them.
Basically, if you dont want to use 3rd party software to help with the
migration of profiles, pick your top 5 10 business apps where the settings
are import to retain, and just write script to do the work for you. Its
pretty simple.
Cheers,
Jeremy.

I'm not sure what you disagreeing with. I did say you can use logon/logoff
scripts to scrap the registry settings. Many time it can be pretty simple,
but MOST ppl who are migrating from 2003 are moving from a 32-bit OS to a
64-bit OS. Now the wow3264node comes into play. So you
HKCU\Software\myjunkware becomes HKCU\Software\Wow3264Node\myjunkware
and actually %AppData% is "Application Data" which becomes "AppData\Roaming"
in V2. Microsoft still insists on shoving stuff in the AppData\Local and
AppData\locallow
As far as V1 and V2 profiles, they are different for a reason. You
can't/shouldn't be mixing them wholesale.

Hi Joe,
I disagree .. HKCU\Software\myjunkware is still HKCU\Software\myjunkware
don't matter if profile is stored in V1 or V2 format by the OS.
%appdata%\myjunkware is still %appdata%\myjunkware .. so applicationsettings
are still at the same location.
Logoff, logonscripts were running fine for me..
You'll just need a 3rd party tool for offline migration.

Andreas
