I have been given the job of transferring roughly 30 users from work groups to a domain server

Just wondering is there a quicker/easier way of importing the users files/settings over than doing the following

Create user/machine domain accounts
log back in as local user and drag and drop everything required over to the domain profile.

Thanks
 
Thats the way i had to do it mate.......but for 50+ users :(

However, before logging onto the local machine via the domain, ie. whilst still logged in as a local user, open up the permissions on all the data you want to move to the your new domain account. That way you don't have to login to the domain just to create the new domain profile, then logout, and log back in as the local user just to move the data again.

Aside from that, it is a ball-ache of a task......good luck! :p

edit: authenticating on the new domain seems to takes the longest time for each pc
