Hi,
Can someone advice me what is the best approach to clone a user profile
folder within a Windows XP Pro machine?
I have been seeing different behaviors when I tried using the copy
profile feature within the system properties. Sometimes, the profile
that I tried to copy from doesn't include the my document folder.
However, when I changed the domain membership around, e.g. disjoin from
the domain, the profile folder might include the my documents folder
again. And I always try rebooting the machine before I do my profile copy.
Is it true that the copy profile function doesn't copy the local
settings folder? Should I just copy the profile folder and overwrite the
one the I would like to use with the old profile?
I see many reference about copying user profile, but there doesn't seem
to be a consistent way.
Thanks in advance.
