I was thinking that they were using the Domain Admin account. If you meant
the local Admin, then just have them log in as themselves, let it create the
new profile then while logged in as a Domain Admin copy the Admin profile to
the other from the Properties of "My Computer" -->User Profiles. The reason
I said Domain Admin is because neither account can be in use during the copy
so you can't use the same account you are copying from. If you don't have a
domain, then create a second Admn account locally on the machines and use
it.

You will probably still have some things in the new profile you will have to
manually recreate of configure.
