When I try this and get to step 5, the COPY TO is not available for
the Profile I need to copy. Assuming this is because it is a Domain
Profile.

Nope.

Is there a setting on the domain profile I can change to
allow it to be copied?

I'd check permissions on the folder.

You might try posting in m.p.windowsxp.security_admin for more help w/that
one....I've seen this happen before but can't remember why (or the fix).

To copy a domain user profile to a local user account profile
------------------------------------------

1. While the computer is still in domain A, create a local user
account (name it something obvious).
2. Log in as the local user account and then log out.
3. Log back in as an account with admin rights (but *not* the real
domain user)
4. Go to control panel, system, advanced....in User Profiles, click
the Settings button
5. Select the domain user's profile, click on Copy To, and browse to
the new local user's c:\documents and settings\username folder.
6. Click OK.
7. Click the Change button in "Permitted to use" and select the
domain\username account you just copied, and then close out.
8. Log in as the local user and make sure the settings look right.

If so, you should be good to go...disjoin the computer from the
domain, making sure you know the local admin credentials....and then
run the /connectcomputer script. When asked which local account
settings you want to assign to the 'new' domain user on domain B,
select the local user you just created.
