copy user profile

You don?t say if you speak about a network profile (domain user) or a local profile.
I use NT4.0 but in Win2000 must be the same:
For network users use User Manager, select one user, from menu select copy and give the name of the new user.
For local profile in computer properties find profile options. You will find here a list of users profiles. Select one profile, use copy options and follow the wizard.

Logged on as local machine admin, rt.click 'MyComputer,' Manage. Users and groups. Under 'users', create your NEWUSER. Then LOGON as that new user (to create the profile). Now logoff and log back on as the machine admin again. Rt.click 'MyComputer', choose 'properties' and go to the 'UserProfiles' tab. Select the profile that you WANT TO USE AS A SOURCE (to copy), and click the 'Copy to...' button. Browse to 'C:\Documents&Settings' and find the new profile you created. Change the 'Permitted to use..' field to the new user acct and click 'OK.' -yer done.

Easy.

Right-Click on My Computer, Click Properties
Select the User Profiles tab, Choose a profile to copy from, Click Copy to. Choose a folder ( I suggest a folder in Documents and Settings ). You can also change the user whom you are permittingto use the profile. Click Ok.

Hope this helps.

first , log on as the user you want to create the account for. Log off and login as a domain(if in a domain), or local admin if the system is on a ptp or stand alone. right click on my computer, properities, user profiles. select the profile you want to copy. and copy to. you will now see a folder list, select the document and settings folder then the new profile. Under the folder it as a rights option. Select the user for this profile. and hit ok. your profile is now copied with the correctpermissions.
the reason for login on first with the new users is so the system will create the account profile for you and then you can move the files.

It is very easy. Log on as the admin and copy the ntuser.dat from the profile you want to copy to the default user profile. You may want to make a copy of the ntuser.dat so you can put it back later. Then log on as the new user. Any new profile usesthe ntuser.dat in the default user profile as a template. After you are finished I would put the original ntuser.dat back.
