232970 Description of Windows 2000 User Account and Profile Migration 

When you join the computer to the domain and you log on using a domain
account, a new default desktop is created for the new account. 

To retrieve the original profile settings, copy it over to the domain
accounts profile that is kept on the local computer. To do this, follow
these steps: 
Log on to the computer using an Administrator account.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
On the User Profiles tab, click the local profile that contains the settings
you want, and then click Copy To. 

NOTE: The profile usually contains the name of the computer and the name of
the user account.
In the Copy profile to box, click Browse, and then browse to the folder that
contains the profiles. If the network path requires credentials, if you
manually enter the path, the profiles will not load. The default folder for
profiles is C:\Documents and Settings.
Click the domain accounts folder, which by default has the Netbios name of
the domain appended to the username.
Click OK.
Click Change, add the appropriate permissions to the domain user account so
that it can use the profile, and then click OK until you return to the
desktop.
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

Thanks
 
Paul

I have inherited a windows 2000 server setup as a workgroup. I want to
add it to my domain and keep the same desktop, programs etc. Does anyone
know the easiest/best way to do this? I've already added it to my domain
and naturally it creates another profile. I don't want that, I want the
original desktop etc..
 
Thanks
Nick
