Help?
We've recently moved from a Windows PDC to Samba, and we need to migrate
user profiles from the old controller to the samba server. Unfortunately,
whenever we try this (by using smbtar to recursively copy the files from the
old controller to the profile directory on the samba server), we get an
error similar to the following:
"Cannot copy file \\sambaserver\share\profile\somefile to C:\\documents and
settings\usernameto C:\\documents and settings\username\somefile. Access is
denied.
After searching google for a while, I've found this question *many* other
times...but I haven't seen any answers.
If we start with an empty profile directory, a new configuration gets
created without a problem. What's creating the problem when we try to
migrate the old configuration?
Thanks!

And if they do not mach the changed PDC your are in trouble. You can / have to use the tools profiedet be NT /W2K to move profiles. They should be some where in the user-Settings (???
