Swapping profiles

[Zed5010]

I have 2 servers (Win2k & NT4). Need 20 users (Win2k & XP) to join new domain on win2k server and retain local profile from the user's PC. When I join the new domain, a new profile is created, the old one is what I need.

Is there a way to use the old local profile when the user connects to the new domain?

Assistance would be much appreciated.

I think you will find what you need in this link:

Thanks rvnguy, but I think this does not apply.
The old server will be taken offline as soon as I join the PCs to the new domain. The problem is the user's local profile on the PC is flagged as Unknown when I join the new domain and I cannot retrieve it unless I go to c:\documents and settings\user and copy it over to the new user name. The message "Welcome to windows" pops up as if it is a new installation.
