I'm working on a network where all users log on to PC as
Administrator (local machine) and log into a workgroup.

Workgroup is being upgraded to domain and I want new
domain users to maintain settings. I know how to copy
profiles. My question is this...will I encounter any
problems if I copy local machine Administrator profile to
new domain user profile (which will also be roaming
profile)? I've tested on several machines with new
domain accounts and don't see any problems yet.

Thanks for any input.
