We're in the process of moving from our existing NT Domain (Domain A) to a new Active Directory Domain (Domain B). Our users all have profiles for Domain A, and we'd like to be able to copy them to Domain B. I know that we can go into properties on "My computer" and then to user profiles and copy the user profile to admin, and then join Domain B, create the users and then copy the profile from admin to the user. The problem with doing it this way is we have over 300 workstations to touch and we need to get this done before labor day. We have a mix of windows 2000 workstations and XP workstations.
 
Just curious about your migration - you are not using ADMT? The ADMT tool allows you to migrate not only accounts/groups etc from one domain to another but also translate profiles of all user profiles on the workstations to the new domain (ie, log into new domain and your old domain profile setting are all there). This also includes roaming profiles.
