We have a company of 40-50 people all working on Win2K
Pro and they will be staying on Win2K Pro

They are running on domain X at the moment on one set of
servers

We have some new servers which will be running on domain
Y shortly. We have added all the users on to Active
Directory on this new domain

What we wanted to do was to do some sort of file and
settings transfer backup (My docs/Internet
favourites/printers etc nothing complicated on their
desktops while logged into the old domain and then
retransfer these settings when we log them on to their
PC's on the new domain.

We tried the USMT but this didnt work when running
loadstate when one test user was logged into the new
domain.
Since found out this tool is only for migrating user
settings from say 95,98 to Win2k or XP i think, not
between the same operating system in this situation

Is there any tools available to do this as we have come
to a halt

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
