Hello, Our current network has users logging into netware servers and logging into Windows locally with locally created accounts (we have no domain). We plan to upgrade to a Windows 2000 domain. My question - when i add a user to a domain, when he/she logs into the domain for the first time, it will create a new profile for the domain account. Is there a way to copy that users old profile (it will have the same username) so he/she will still have his desktop, my docs, favorites, etc...? What i noticed happen is that it creates a second profile for the domain user, and creates a folder in documents and settings like "jsmith.domainName" or "jsmith.000". I don't want to go through the hassle of copying user files over from one profile to another - any ideas? Thanks, Andrew

It is tedious, but you can login locally as an administrator go to the old profile and copy it over to the new profile. Or, if you are good at login scripts you could create one that copies the old profile over at login. Take a look at kixtart.org a pretty cool admin script writting tool that is free, well they ask you for a donation which I plan to do at some point:)
