Hi Gary,
Thanks for posting!
Based on the description, I would like to provide you with the following
information for your reference:
1. Using the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) tool.
===========================================
This is a powerful tool that can help us move much information from one
forest to another including: users, groups, security settings (including
profiles), client computers.
I strongly recommend that you use this tool to migrate the user profiles in
this case, because it can move all the local user profiles on a computer as
long as it finds that the users have been migrated before. So it should be
the most efficient method to move a large number of user profiles on a
certain client computer.

2. Regarding Active Directory Domain rename
=========================================
You need to reboot twice all member workstations, member servers, and
standalone servers (excluding domain controllers) that are running Windows
2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 Server family in the renamed
domains in your forest. Rebooting twice ensures that each member computer
learns of the domain name changes (LSA policy changes) and propagates them
to all applications and services running on the member computer. Note that
each computer must be restarted by logging into the computer and using the
Shutdown/Restart administrative option. Computers must not be restarted by
turning off the machine power and then turning it back on. You don't need
someone with admin rights to logon for the changes to take effect.
For more details, please refer to the following link. You can find the
document named Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Domain Rename, pay
attention to the paragraph "Restart Member Computers":

I hope my information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
