Windows 2000 Profile Question

Hi everyone,

I have a W2k Pro workstation added to a domain called ACME. The customer, named Doej for discussion purposes, has previously successfully logged into the workstation and authenticated against the ACME domain. The customer has a profile titled Doej in the Documents and Settings folder.

The workstation was then removed from the ACME domain and added to another domain called DEADMAN. The same Doej customer then logs into this same workstation and authenticates against the DEADMAN domain. A new user profile called Doej.000 is then created in the Documents and Settings folder.

Is there anyway to manipulate the workstation/OS to have the customer continue to use the Doej profile even with the change to the authenticating domain?

Thanks

Manually by log in with the new domain account to create the profile.
Then logoff the user and logon as the administrator account.
Right click My Computer, Properties, User Profiles, click on the existing domain account and click "Copy To...". Browse to the new domain profile folder (c:\documents and settings\(new domain profile)) and click OK. All settings, desktop icons, favorites, and files in the My Documents folder will be moved to the new profile folder.
