A user profile comprises the folders that users see as their working environment, including My Documents. If you need to move a user's profile from one account to another or even to move the profile from a local account to a domain account, you can do it manually. A more reliable method is to use the W2K Resource Kit utility MOVEUSER.
To move a user's profile, logon to the computer where the existing profile resides and use the moveuser utility to move the profile. Syntax:
MOVEUSER [DOMAIN/]user1 [DOMAIN/]user2 [/c:computer] [/k] [/y] user1 The existing user (who has a local profile) Specify domain users in 'DOMAIN/user' format or just 'user' for a local account. user2 The user acount that will inherit the user1 profile. This account must already exist. Specify domain users in DOMAIN/user format specify only user for local accounts. /c:computer The computer on which to make the changes. /k Keep user account user1 (only applies to local users) /y Overwrite any existing profile for user2.
This wil not work on Windows NT.
