Copy user profile

[rileymartin]

Hi,

I recently added my vista PC to a 2003 domain. I tried copying my
c:\users\username folder to my domain account, c:\username.domain however I
didn't get my wallpaper, gadgets and a few other things. I also got a few
errors about filenames being too long during the copy. I saw other people
posting saying this would work. Should it?

I then tried the vista 'Windows Easy Transfer' and that seemed to get
everything except for the gadgets. Was it supposed to get the gadgets as
well that appear on the desktop? Thanks.

I haven't played with it personally, but the User State Migration Tool
should help you out. IDK how well it works on Vista though.
