Profile Manager Copy To not available

C

Chuck

My Windows XP Professional system was migrated to a new
domain that is running Microsoft Active Directory. When
the migration was performed, a new user was created with
the same username but for the new domain. My original
profile did not get migrated correctly. So now I have two
profiles like:

USERNAME on oldomain
USERNAME on newdomain

I have tried to use the Copy To function on the Profile
Manager to copy the old profile settings to the new domain
account but the Copy To function is not available
regardless of which account I am using. For example, I
realize that the account logged in cannot use the Copy To
function. But I have tried the same thing under different
administrator accounts but the USERNAME on oldomain never
has Copy To available regardless of which account is
logged.

Is there any way to copy the original user profile to the
new one?

Log into the local account.. (choose to logon NOT in the domain, but the
local machine.) Use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (Google it if
you don't know what I am talking about - or use the Built in help and
support in Windows..) to export the infomration from the account.

Now - log back into the domain account you created/was created for you and
use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to import the settings from the
location you just exported to.
