Best way to copy user profiles is throuth user profiles tab (right click my computer, prop)and not throuth just copying the contents of the user folder in documents and setting (w2k) or winnt\profiles (nt). So select the old profile from the list of profiles on the PC and "copy to" c:\Doc and Settings the users profile folder -will have the same name as their logon. Also be sure you specify their username in the permitted to use setting.

The way we deal with this is to simply copy stuff between profiles and/or move common stuff like program shortcuts to the All Users profile. -----Original Message----- From: Robinson, Nick [mailto:NRobinson@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 10:19 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] off subject - changing domains This is probably a simple thing but I've never had to do it. I have 2 users, one running NT4.0 WS and the other is running 2000 WS. I need to move the user and computer to a different domain but when I do this, it seems to create a new profile for the user including a new desktop and all. My question is this: How can I move the users without reloading everything on their computers and rebuilding their desktops?
