Bob,

I appreciate your valuable answers. I tried moveuser on one client and
it worked perfectly. Then I tried another one and I thought it worked.
But I couldn't login with the domain user, it gave me access denied
error. I realized the profile folder is not accessable for that user.
I expected moveuser.exe would do all the adjustment for that. So I
changed the ownership of the profile folder to this new domain user.
Now whenever I logon, it says the user profile couldn't load becuase
it couldn't locate enough resources and it would use the default
profile instead. It appears that the default profile is the one I
want! So it seems it's working. Can I just use it like this and ignore
the error message? Or should I get rid of it? If so, how?

Thank you,

~Deniz
