Migrate user profiles to new Active Directory Accounts

There are several potential ways to do this. Probably the simplest is to do some variation of the following:

1. Join the domain
2. Log in as the new domain user, and log out
3. Log back in as an account with admin rights on the box (but not either the old or new user accounts)
4. Go to control panel, system, advanced
5. in User Profiles, click the Settings button
6. Select the local user's profile, click on Copy To, and browse to the new domain user's c:\documents and settings\username folder.
7. Click OK.
8. Click the Change button in Permitted to use Select the domain\username account you just copied

You can try transferring the settings with the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools).

This should export/import most user settings.

Make sure that the machines where you do the export/import have the same OS version / patch level.
