[Samba] Desktops for non-roaming profiles

Hey folks,

Just wanted to let you know that this process worked for me:

1. Log on to the domain with the domain user.
2. Reboot
3. Log on as the local administrator
4. Copy the profile (Start -> My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced ->
User Profiles), making sure to grant permissions to the domain user
5. Log off
6. Log on as the domain user.

Failing to grant the permissions in step #4 was a pitfall I hit, but
once I got that sorted out, the migration seemed to go well.  I haven't
done extensive testing on what exactly got copied over (looked okay, but
it's possible cookies, passwords, etc. didn't get migrated - TBD), but
upon initial inspection, things looked okay.

Thanks in advance for all who provided advice and insight.

Best Regards,
Ryan
