OK, first post here . . . :)

I'm working on an AD upgrade at an engineering firm. Currently all the clients have local profiles, but with the new Win2k server (to replace an NT4 setup) we want to move everyone to roaming profiles.

Using the ADMT we've gotten all the user accounts copied onto the new server. What I'm trying to find now is a way to copy all of the local profiles to the server as roaming profiles.

There's plenty of info on how to go to each client's Control Panel and copy the profile, but we're talking lots of clients here. Surely there's a more automated way to just pull them to the server as an administrator.
 
Cancel, I got this one figured out - By following some posts I found through some searching (and voted as helpful), I just added the profile path in the account properties under the AD with %username% as the user folder. When I logged in the next time, the client picked up the roaming profile and copied everything over.
