I have a win2k domain with xp users. I blew away my server and made a new
domain. I want to transfer user settings from profilename.domain1 to
profilename.domain2.

How can i do this?

Thanks
 
First logon to the domain at least once as the user, then while logged on as
another user (with administrative rights) Control Panel|System|User
Profiles, select the oldprofile, Copy To, Browse to %systemdrive%\Documents
and Settings\newdomainprofile Change "Permitted to use:" to
"newdomainprofile" OK

You'll need to be logged on as a user with local administrative rights.

I found it under the advanced tab - It work ok with the exception of not
copying my email from outlook and newsgroup settings from outlook express
 
Those you would probably need to use the import function (*.pst for
outlook). Also check out Tom Kochs' (Tom is one of the OE MVP's) web site
for this info and more on backing up/restoring your Outlook Express stuff.
