BlankHello All,

  I have recently acquired a few machines that belonged to another company,
as well as the users that belonged to the machines. I am attempting to keep
the profiles intact that they are currently using while changing the domain
they belong to.
  These are Win2k machines. I have attempted changing the domain, then
modifying access permissions of the profile path and edited the appropriate
string in the registry to point the new domain user to the old profile path.
After doing this you do access the appropriate profile, but there are all
sorts of difficulties, ranging from not being able to change the desktop
background to not being able to run all Office applications.
  I have had no luck finding a procedure that addresses this issue directly,
but I am sure that someone has had to do this very thing in the past. So
here I am. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
  Nic
