I am about to replace a Windows 2000 Server with a new Windows 2003 Server.
Active Directory is being used on the 2000 Server, but it will be not be part
of the network once the new server is installed. So, I will have a new .local
domain name for which to join the existing workstations. All of the
workstations are XP Pro except for one Windows 2000 Professional machine. I
would like to move their current profiles to the new profiles that will be
created by joining the new domain. What can I do to migrate the current
profile to the new one? The workstations will stay the same so I will not be
putting in new workstations, only a new server. Thanks for the help.
