Tony, We are using an app from Microsoft called "User State Migration Tool". However, we are using it for a migration from NT4 to XP, so, now that I think about it, this probably wouldn't help you.
You could copy the profiles manually. That's a bit of a pain, but it does work. 1. Log in as user from NEW domain. 2. Log in as local administrator. 3. Right-click on my computer, go to profiles tab. 4. Copy old domain profile to new domain profile folder (usually something like userid.000) Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: Woods, Tony MHR:EX [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 4:57 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Profile Duplication Hi all, I've got a client that is migrating from one domain to another. We want it to be as simple as this. They log off at night from one domain, log into the new one the next morning. Everything is in place except for one thing. We must preserve their profiles. Roaming users won't matter but there aren't many, about 5% out of 3500. These are NT 4 machines in NT 4 domains. We've been given a 3rd party tool that looks up the local id in C:\winnt\profiles directory, finds the current domain SID, searches the new domain for the id and SID, once it finds it, adds the SID in the registry under HKLM\Software...etc\profilelist. It works (in the sense that it finds both SID's and creates the new SID's key in the registry with the same profile path) but when you log into the new domain, you don't get your profile. What tools have you all used?
