hi,
i wanted to know what is the exact steps for coping profiles from one user to another: menaing i want a profile copied over to someone elses profile so all the settings look alike, is this possible. I tried doing this under System Profiles, but i think i am missing something that i am not doing right there, please help thank you.
 
to automatically boot into a profile... just grab a copy of tweakui, flip it to the login section, and enter your username and password and select log on automatically.
 
Yes you can. What I would do is log in locally to the Windows 2000 machine that has the profile you want to copy with the local Administrator account. Map a drive letter to the C$ share of the computer you want to copy the profile to by using the NET USE command from a command prompt. Once you have done this, right-click on My Computer and select Properties. Then click on the User Profiles tab. There, you should see the profile you want to copy. Click on the Copy TO button. Navigate to the mapped drive letter, expand the Documents and Settings folder, then highlight the user folder you want to copy to. MAKE SURE THAT THE USER YOU WANT TO COPY THE PROFILE TO HAS ALREADY LOGGED IN TO THE TARGET MACHINE. If you manually create the folder, you will not copy the pofile to the correct folder. The local LSA keeps track of the local profiles, and if it see's one that already exists for a user, it will create another folder for that user logging in. The LSA keeps track of the user's SID and applies the user's SID to the profile folder. This is why you need to make sure that the user has already logged in. The only other thing you need to make sure about is the permissions. If you have a domain, then navigate to the users account. If you do not have a domain, then you will have to navigate to the target computer, and select the user's account from there.

If you have any further questions about this, let me know.😀
