I am in the process of changing the Domain Name on my NT4 Server. When I do this, my W2K clients will need to be added to the new domain. When the users log into the new domain they will loose all of their Outlook, Desktop and Internet settings (amongst other things).
Is there any way to move the user's profiles over? I've tried the obvious which was to copy the directory structure but that didn't work!
