I have serveral locations that are connected by 56k frame to our main host. They are all winnt 4.0 machines and login with administrator to the local machine. I wish to change this and have each facility log in with a seperate account so I can take advantage of Microsoft exchange server and I want them to be apart of my domain. The question is: I want to know how to copy a profile from the user administrator to the user 36conv (example) without having to reinstall programs and setup internet explorer properties again. I want their desktop to look the same as it does logged in as administator

In System Properties click on User Profiles. Select the profile you want to copy, and click Copy To.. and select the folder you wish to copy it to.
Note that this will overwrite anythink thats in the destination folder. Also you will have to updatethe user settings of the new locaion of the profile (if you use Roaming profiles that's accomplished very easy).
