Changing to a Domain and keeping the settings

[Guest]

I have a network install in 2 weeks that I have to do, they have 10pc's
running XP Pro, and they need all the desktop settings to be the same when i
join them to their new domain... what is the best way of doing this? I cant
seem to find any answers on this anywhere...

Use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard/User State Migration:

Use MyLogon, keep the local account unchanged, connect to the server with a
domain username.

If you're going to try the Transfer Wizard, then backup the computer (or
create a restore point) first and DON'T rely on it working. I'd trust it
about as far as I can throw it. :-/
