Hello,

Thank you for posting here.

This issue occurred because the user and the computer objects were migrated
using the same ADMT host machine and the user objects were migrated first.
You may use logon script to copy profile or my favorites to the new
profile. You may browse the following web site for more information:

322241.KB.EN-US HOW TO: Assign Scripts in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;322241

It appears that this is a development-related request that would best be
best addressed in the developer newsgroups. The developer newsgroups are
located at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp

In the Computer Migration Wizard, you can specify the types of objects for
which you want ADMT to translate security. You can select the following
object types:

Files and folders
Local groups
Printers
Registry
Shares
User profiles
User rights

In Windows NT 4.0, locally cached profiles are stored as a subfolder of the
%SystemRoot%\Profiles folder. In Windows 2003, if the installation is an
upgrade, the existing profile path continues to be used.

============
Regardless of whether the user logs on to a local account or an account
from a domain, if the %ProfilePath% folder does not contain a folder with
the name of the logged-on user (in this case "joesmith"), a folder with
that name is created and the path recorded in the registry along with the
Security Identifier (SID) of the user associated with the profile. The
folder created as a result would be:
Windows 2000 installation drive:\Documents and Settings\joesmith

If another account with the down-level name "JOESMITH" were to log on,
another folder would be created, but with the name of the local computer or
domain in which the user's account originates:

Windows 2000 installation drive:\Documents and Settings\joesmith
[NEWDOMAIN]

Or, if the user account was established on the local computer:
Windows 2000 installation drive:\Documents and Settings\joesmith [LOCALBOX]

If another "JOESMITH" account logging on to the same Windows 2000 computer
logs on from an identically named source (whether a domain or local
computer) and the SIDs of the two accounts are not the same (this could
occur if the user accounts were re-created and the user logged on to the
same computer), a new folder would be created with an extension denoting
how many times the profile experienced this exception. For example:
For the first user:
Windows 2000 installation drive:\Documents and Settings\joesmith
[NEWDOMAIN].000
For the second user:
Windows 2000 installation drive:\Documents and Settings\joesmith
[NEWDOMAIN].001
And so on.

============
The above information is from the following web sites:

User Profile Storage in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;228445
Using User Profiles with Windows

Description of Windows 2000 User Account and Profile Migration
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;232970

To the outlook 97 profile issue, you may try to create a new profile and
deploy this profile.

I hope the information proves helpful!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let me know. I am glad
to be of assistance.
