I am About to deploy a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain in a business that currently only has local users on all computers.
I have limited experience with Windows Server as I have spent most of my time on Linux... I have however setup several Server 2003 domains but always with all new workstations so this has never come up before (just to make sure i knew what i was doing i have setup a virtual WS2008R2 box and several clients on my vmserver).
There are about 10 systems that i need to setup but all systems have many documents, email, and applications already installed in a local profile.
The question is what is the best way to move a users profile from local to domain?
I am not setting up roaming profiles.
the users systems are running a mix of XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
Thanks for the help!
