Microsoft has a 'moveuser.exe' utility to move profiles from one user to
another.
I believe the Syntax to move from local user 'rpollard' to domain 'rpollard'
Command Line Syntax:
moveuser <user1> <user2> [/y] [/c:computer] [/k]
Description:
moveuser.exe changes the security of a profile from one user to another.
This allows the account domain to change, and/or the user name to change.
Arguments:
user1 Specifies a user who has a local profile.
user2 Specifies the user who will own user1's profile. This
account must exist.
/y Allow overwrite of existing profile.
/c Specifies the computer to make the changes to.
/k Specifies if user1 is a local user, then the user account
should be kept.
Specify domain users in DOMAIN\USER format. Specify only USER for
local accounts.

>From what I remember of using a system under this type of profile in my
previous job, there were 2 home directories created when logging in locally
versus logging in with the domain login.
For example, I had rpollard as a local user on the computer I used and I had
rpollard with a domain login and a profile.
Correct me if I'm wrong but when I create these profiles on the domain
server and the user logs in, they will lose all of their personal setting
because it creates a new home directory?
If this is true, how do I make the transition seamless to using domain based
profiles?
Thank!
