After problems with user profiles have custom made a
default user prof which works. Can I put it in
C:docs&settings of the clients and delete the old one?
Will it cause registry problems?

If I put the profile on the server and set up the users
to go there for the profile what happens if the server
goes down? Do the users just get the local default
profile?

It usually works ok, but I am hesitant about copying over
the MAIN NTUser.dat profile file. If they were created
on the same system then it probably will be ok.

Note that some user specific settings, most notiably names
and signatures for Office and Email will be lost.

You might not even lose all for things like Outlook which
keeps signatures in separate files and then if you only
copy and not delete the originals you will be ok.

I just did this for one of my old machines where I had a bunch
of "IE Favorites", the command looked (something) like this:

xcopy . "\\othermachine\c$\documents and settings\herbm" /s /d
<c:\bat\n.txt >c:\bat\log.txt

The above command is one line.

All I am doing is ADDING missing files to the tree and overwriting
nothing.
