User Profiles

[Bob]

I am moving my current users from an existing domain to a
new domain. Is there a way to copy the user profile on
the desktop to the user in the new domain? The user names
are the same in both domains. I am trying to maintain
their desktop, favorites, programs, etc.

Thanks

You can use the following article to copy profile settings from one user to
another:

What if it is the same username but different domain?

This will still create a new profile when the user logs in for the first
time in the new domain. The profile name will probably be something like
"username.domainname" instead of just username. You should be able to copy
the profile settings by following the article.
