 Specs:
 
 RHEL 3 with samba-3.0.7-1.3E.1
 
 Server is configured to be a PDC in domain
 
  
 
 
 
 We are in the process of joining standalone Windows 2K Pro and Windows
 XP Pro machines to the domain.
 
  
 
 Once the computer is joined to the domain we have a new profile under
 Documents and Settings. What is the best way to copy or get the original
 user profile without having to manually copy all of the contents of the
 original profile?

Read the documentation in the samba HOWTO about profiles or various
publications from Microsoft would be my recommendation as to the best
way.

Not sure of any automatic way of doing it, but you can use the windows 
profile copier.
Once the new clean profile has been made:
Right click my computer  properties  advanced  user profiles  settings. 
Select the old account and click copy to.. choose the new user folder in 
documents and settings (this will warn that there is alreadyy a profile there 
and it will be cleared  just ok it. The last bit to do is change permission 
to use (or something very similar) change this to the new username (make sure 
you put it in the format DOMAIN\user) - this will copy the profile 
flawlessly to the new user.
I think there may be quite a lot of people who would benefit from an automatic 
way of doing this - This question is asked at least once a month. Anyone have 
any suggestions on how to implement an automatic solution?
Cheers,
