I followed the link and am going to try this when I am back on site. The
window that pops up during connectcomputer is familiar although the bottom
portion doesn't fill because the workstation is already a member of the
domain. THe article says that you can't use this option to migrate the
profile if you area already on the domain.

THis option will run well for the new stations I need to add, so thanks
alot
for sharing. If there are other options I would appreciate more advice.

Thanks!

When I use connectcomputer to join a computer to the domain I end up with
a
whole new profile. What is the best way to keep my current settings? Do
I
run the File and Setting Transfer Wizard to back them up and then restore
them once I join the domain? I have two cases here.

1. Adding server to a peer to peer network, systems have never been on a
domain.

2. Joining computers to a domain where the systems had been logging in
to a
Windows NT server on the domain, now the computers are being joined and
will
login to a new SBS2003 server. Also the same network had some new
workstations that will replace existing ones, the profiles will need to
move
over to the new machines and login to the new SBS 2003 server.

I can make all of this work manually by saving files and settings to
network
storage or a flash drive, but would really like to do it the most
efficient
way without adding user error by forgetting something, or just doing
things
in the wrong order.

Can anyone make suggestions?
