I did as you said and changed the profile to a local one, removed it from the existing domain, added it to the new domain, and logged in as the user again. It gave me a new profile. Looking in C:\Users I see the username folder and username.NEWDOMAIN. It is creating a new profile for the same user on the new domain. Is there a way to do this? I have searched but only see directions for doing local profiles to roaming. Figures I would be going against the grain here.

Thanks for that. I tried changing the permissions on the folder but totally forgot about the registry. Also I tried the program "reprofiler" as it is supposed to automate alot of this but I couldn't get it just right either.
