I am trying to copy a profile with Computer Administrator level.

I have created 2 extra Computer Administrator profiles. One to copy the
original profile to and one to log in to to actual do the copy process.

I have followed the instructions elsewhere on this Newsgroup and all goes
well until I get the error message:

"Failed to set Security on the Destination Profile. Error - Access is denied"

I have tried removing any passwords from all three profile log ins.

I have tried copying limited user profiles with no problem.

Anyone any thoughts?

Thanks
