[Samba] A good read

[Mark Braker]

Microsoft has a 'moveuser.exe' utility to move profiles from one user to
another.

I believe the Syntax to move from local user 'rpollard' to domain 'rpollard'


Command Line Syntax:

  moveuser <user1> <user2> [/y] [/c:computer] [/k]

Description:

  moveuser.exe changes the security of a profile from one user to another.
  This allows the account domain to change, and/or the user name to change.

Arguments:

  user1    Specifies a user who has a local profile.
  user2    Specifies the user who will own user1's profile. This
           account must exist.
  /y       Allow overwrite of existing profile.
  /c       Specifies the computer to make the changes to.
  /k       Specifies if user1 is a local user, then the user account
           should be kept.

  Specify domain users in DOMAIN\USER format.  Specify only USER for
  local accounts.

>From what I remember of using a system under this type of profile in my 
previous job, there were 2 home directories created when logging in locally 
versus logging in with the domain login.

For example, I had rpollard as a local user on the computer I used and I had

rpollard with a domain login and a profile.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when I create these profiles on the domain 
server and the user logs in, they will lose all of their personal setting 
because it creates a new home directory?

If this is true, how do I make the transition seamless to using domain based

profiles?

Thank!
