This post has to do with workstation migrations as I attempt to move from an
NT domain model to Win2k3 Directory. Currently each of approximately 50 PCs
(Win 2000 or XP Pro) on my network is a member of a Windows NT domain and
each logs into that domain.

For each PC that I join to my new domain (Windows Server 2003), I know that
I will end with a new Documents and Settings folder for user.newdomain. Is
it simply a matter of then copying everything in the old Documents and
Settings folder to the new Documents and Settings folder (user.newdomain)
in order to preserve desktop settings and email files, or is there more to
it than that? Perhaps there is a migration tool for this scenario that I
don't know about. If it's of any consequence, I don't use roaming profiles
and wasn't planning on using them in the new configuration.

Any help is appreciated.
