ADMT 2.0 Profile Issue

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

We have successfully migrated all user accounts from the old domain to the
new domain. I also disabled SID Filtering which gave us successful mapping of
new domain accounts accessing the old domain resources without issue.

We migrated a couple test workstations in order to see what happens to the
old profiles.

Here is what we are left with.

The old profiles were changed (security wise) to the new domain. So if I were
looking at the Profiles under the properties of My Computer I would now see
NEWDOMAIN\USERACCOUNT insetad of OLDDOMAIN\USERACCOUNT.

I also checked the file securities on the old "Docuements and Settings
\Profile" and the new Domain account has the appropriate rights. Which makes
sense because of the previou paragraph's findings.

Here is where the problem comes into play. When the user logs on as the new
domain account it creates yet another profile giving it a .NEWDOMAIN at the
end of the folder under "Documents and Settings". I was able to go into the
registry and change which folder the new profile was pointing to and it
worked but we are hoping to have all users login and have their old profile
be the first accessed so we do not have to edit the registry on each user.

Please let me know if someone needs addtional information for clarification.

Thanks in advance!
