Guest Ron Hinds Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I just added a Windows Server 2003 domain to my network. I then joined my XP Pro SP2 system to the domain. I want to move all of the settings of my original, local user profile to my new, domain user profile. But when I go to the My Computer | System Properties | Advanced | User Profiles and try to copy one profile to the other, it says that I must first delete everything from that folder (Documents and Settings\User.Domain). However, I am unable to delete everything from that folder due to sharing violations. It doesn't matter if I logon as the original user, the new user, the local Administrator, or the Domain Administrator. Is this just not possible, and if not, why was the option included? As a side note, I tried to just XCOPY the files - now in User Profiles it says the old profile is twice as large as it was ;-(
