So you can still log into the original profile, right? In that case, go to
Windows Explorer and click Tools -> Folder Options and go to the Offline
Files tab. Click View Files. That'll open a window showing all the offline
copies that are stored in that user profile (including not only My Docs, but
anything that's set to be available offline). You can just drag-and-drop
the files from that window to copy them to a different location on the PC.
Offline files are stored in a double-secret hidden directory, c:\windows\CSC
(client-side cache). They're stored in a special database format, so you
can't access them directly.
If you join the workstation to the new domain, you'll almost certainly lose
access to those files, so I'd copy them out of the cache to a safe location
before proceeding further.

Hello All this is my first time posting. I have an SBS2003 Domain (1) with
about 45 Workstations. Several months ago I took a workstation out of the
domain to use at an off site location. The user contined to log in under
her
domain profile without being connected to the Domain. I am now setting up
a
second SBS Domain (2) at her location and would like to migrate her domain
profile to the new domain. I tested this on another workstation that I had
retired... here are the , problems. This Worstation also had folder
redirection applied for all of the time it sepnt connected to Domain (1).
When I copy the profile, it doesn't copy anything in the locally cached
copy
of My Documents. It onle copies the fact that My Documents points to a
share
on Domain (1). Since this domain is not available, I can't open the My
Documents folder. I tried various ways to re-create a NON Re-directed My
Documents folder on the temporary local profile to no avail. If I log in
as
the original domain user I can see all of the files in the My Documents
folder (even though I am not connected to the lan), however, I can not
find
these same files in explorer. I am not sure where these files actually
exist.
So I guess the question is. How do I easilly either copy the domain
profile
and establish a non redirected My Documents folder or Cancel the
redirection
on just this one worstation then migrate the profile. Sorry for such a
long
post.
