How to copy a windows 7 user profile when changing domains [duplicate]

JayaprakashReddy answer led me in the right direction.

The solution is to (running as an admin) launch the Windows Easy Transfer program. It is meant for migrating to a new computer, but you can choose to export only your profile.

Once you export it to a file on a local disk, launch it again, this time select "this is my new computer", click advanced and it will let you map from one profile to another and click transfer.

Worked like a charm (except no user specific registry data seems to have been copied).


I used the free version of User Profile Wizard. Seemed to work perfectly!
