I am changing my Windows 2000 Pro system to be on my domain (instead of a
workgroup). I need to save my user profile and restore it once I have
changed the system over to the domain. Windows XP has the Files and Setting
Transfer Wizard. I can find nothing of this sort with Windows 2000 Pro. I
think I recall someone calling it FAST. Anyone know how I can do this with
Win 2K or where I can find a download of the Files and Settings Transfer
Wizard for Win 2K? Thanks alot!
 
You can use the Copy To function to mirror the profile. Logon at least once
after joining the domain. Then while logged on as another user (with
administrative rights) Control Panel|System|User Profiles, select your
userprofile, Copy To, Browse to
%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\userprofile.domainname
Change "Permitted to use:" to "userprofile.domainname" OK.
