Copying a profile on a WinXP machine

[Jagger15]

I am migrating to a new AD Domain, but now I have to move all the workstations to the new domain. I was wondering if anybody has a script that I can go to each workstation and 1. Change the Domain
2. Copy the user profile

Thanks so much

Use the tool designed for this purpose: ADMT

I have all the accounts moved, I was looking for a script to actually use on each workstation to copy the local profile and add the each client PC to the new domain.

Thanks again.

Again, ADMT will do that for you.

When you migrate computers USING ADMT then it will allow the profiles to be used in either the original domian or the new domain.

If you did not use ADMT to migrate the computer accoutns, then just delete the accoutns fromt he new domain and use ADMT to accomplish your goal.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Will ADMT copy the local user profile on the workstation so that when the user logs into the new domain all his/her desktop, programs, favorites etc.. will be the same as when they were on the old domain?

Thanks again.

Sorry I guess I am a little confused.

The EXISTING profile will be enabled to work with both domains. No copy needed.

Read the documentation on ADMT and you will find it is the right solution for your need.

I hope you find this post helpful.
