Re: User Profiles and Setting from 2003 32bit to 2003 64bit?

So I've installed ADMT, though I'm still not sure how this applies.

I have Users in DomainA, on Terminal Server MachineA, with user profiles from DomainA.
I want to get rid of MachineA and only use a new Terminal Server, MachineB. The users are still part of DomainA. though I want to copy the user profiles over to MachineB.

More Specifically, the MyDocs and Desktop files, and Favorites. The other settings I'm not as concerned, as we are also switching from x86 to x64 and from Office 2003 to Office 2007.

Since the users have not logged into MachineB yet I cant copy the MyDocs and Desktop files, and Favorites to the profiles folders. I dont want to make alkl of them log in and then copy. I jsut want to point the Old IP to the new server and have all of the ThinClients just reconnect.

Thanks,
Scott<-

| | I think You need more info... (-;
| |
| | Both Servers are Member Servers in a AD Domain.
| |
| | All of the user accounts are in AD and can log into either machine.
| |
| | Currently all users log into Old Terminal ServerA (Old Hardware). All
of
| | their Setting are there, Favorites, My Documents, Office Settings, Etc.
| |
| | We have a new Terminal ServerB (New Hardware) 64Bit OS, and Running a
new
| | version of MS Office 2007.
| |
| | How can I transition the users from the Old ServerA, to new ServerB and
| | retain all of the settings they have in the Documents and Settings
Folder.
| |
| | If I just Copy over the Profile folder to the new machine what will
that
| do
| | to Program like Office where its a new version? What about default
| options
| | in the Default User folder that need to be included for the new server.
| |
| | Thanks,
