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.
