HI Frances,

I tried as per your instructions and its failing, I dont know whats the
mistake i am doing.

I am logging in as the domain admin(by default has full admin. priveleges on
old and new computers) and executing following command.

M:\>moveuser OComputer\netuser NComputer\pxnetuser /k /y /c:\\us1app04
Moving profile from OComputer\netuser to NComputer\pxnetuser on \\us1app04...

Move failed.

Error 1332
The specified user does not exist.

I checked on the new computer and user exists on NComputer but still i am
getting this error. Can you let me know what could be causing this problem.
