Dear all,
    We are in the process of migrating from NT4 to 2k domain. We have
started from a new 2k domain instead of upgrade the existing one. Most of
the Client PC in our company are Win2k and XP. The profile of the user are
created in defualt location.
    When user login to new domain, their client PC will consider him\her as
a new user. Thus a new profile will be created to use. We have to do a
profile copying for every user in order to access the same environment as
previous. Since the user pool is huge and some users have huge data in thier
profile and this job became very time consuming.
    We wish to find a solution of pointing the new profile to the old
profile instead of creating a new one and copy the old one over. Can someone
guide us?

thanks
