Ok, we finally have our Linux PDC up and running. I'm trying to find a good guide to copying windows XP user profiles & registry settings to the newly created domain user profile. Also any utilities that could accomplish this. We are using local profiles. What we tried was using the "copy to" button to copy the user profile to the new domain profile. This seems to work for some users and not others. Manually copying does not get the ntuser.dat and other locked files. For some users (me, for instance) the copy to button is greyed out. Any help and suggestions from folks who have done this would be appreciated. Thanks, Joel

We are using local profiles.What about Microsofts User State Migration Tool: <http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/91f62fc4-621f-4537-b311-1307df0105611033.mspx?mfr=true> We're about to copy user profiles later this year as well and this tool is on my list to look at. -Remy
