I am migrating my network to a 2003 domain. I want to keep the local user profile and copy it so the domain user may use it. I am having a problem where the domain user can't load any of the settings when they log in. UNLESS they are apart of the Domain Admins user group. Then the are able to load everything and it works like a charm. I would rather not have them in the domain admins group. any ideas?

Sounds like the results of coping files and not a proper domain upgrade procedure.
How are you "upgrading" your domain?
Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

Did you copy the profiles before creating the Domain users or after?
If you did it before creating the domain users then the user itself would not have permissons to read/write the profile, you can go ahead & make grant the permissons or you can delete the existing profile, log them on once so that everything is created & then copy profiles from their local machines & that should take care of it.
