Copy user not getting all settings

How do you "turn on" a field so that the Copy User process duplicates that field or those entries for all new accounts created by using the copy command? We want to set up specific user templates and a whole lot of fields are not coming through (TS settings, the Office field, etc.) when we copy one of these users

We just migrated to 2003 AD Native from NT4 domain. Been trying to find out where any of this is documented.
 
You can't turn on and off fields to be copied, what you see is what you get.

Well, a third party tool like Hyena will do it. Guess we are gonna have to purchase it.

You don't have to purchase a third-party product, Win2K3 gives you
plenty of alternate ways to address this. For example, you can do the
copy with a script that also populates these attributes. Check out this
sample script though it will probably need modification:

You can also take a look at ADSI Scriptomatic at:

Other alternate ways include CSVDE,LDIFDE and dsadd user.
