slightly off topic, but if anyone knows...

If one were adding machines to a domain, one would copy the profile to
the PDC using the "User Profiles" tab in the System Control Panel
applet. I would think (but not having ever really used an NT server)
that you could do this from the existing PDC (before the move of
course).

I hope you have backed up all the profiles ...

Outlook usually stores all it's info in <user_profile>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst

If you start up Outlook and it doesn't find the file in that location,
it will ask you where it is. That is what I have done (moved outlook.pst
out of the profile, it's just way too big to copy over the network at
login). You can also (depending what options you installed with) choose
File->Open->Personal Folders File.
