Convert XP roaming profiles to Vista?

[David Trimboli]

We use roaming profiles extensively at my organization. Sooner or
later, someone's going to want to get a Windows Vista machine on the
domain. Currently, the only way this will work is if the user has a
separate Vista profile.

Is there any way to convert an XP profile to a Vista profile? I'm not
talking about Folder Redirection, I mean the actual settings: mapped
printers and drives, location of graphical elements, and all the other
things that are kept in the user's registry hive.

I'm a bit astonished that I can't find any documentation explaining
what to do about this. It seems like a fairly important piece of
deployment information!

No, I've already read this document, and it only describes how to
redirect folders to those of the old profile. It says nothing about
migrating user settings.
