Hi A.C.

Wow, this is a difficult task. You know the proper way to move from one
domain to another and retain your user accounts is to use ADMT. Is the old
domain still up and running or pushed off into the closet? If still
functional, we can migrate the user accounts from the one domain to the new
domain and migrate the computer accounts as well. Don't forget to use SID
Histories. After running the Security translator wizard, the user can logon
to the new domain with their original profile.

But, the new domain needs to be a different name.

Other than that, I've done this manually for the user after we disjoined and
joined the new domain again.

Take a look at this:

Also, you can try Ideal Migration from www.pointdev.com - This tool can do
it.
