Hello,

i'm trying to use this windows moveuser utility, to move local windows 2000 accounts to their domain accounts. I tried using the local admin logon as well as the domain admin account. The error i'm getting is "moved failed. Error 5 access denied. Any help

Thanks

Just need a bit more info here. Why are you trying to move the localmachine admin account to domain admins?

by mr_milo

Moveuser.exe [user1] [domain\user2] /y

[user1]=The local user profile you are trying to
Notice that only the username is
required.

[user2]=The domain\user profile you are trying to
create.

[/y]= Allow overwrite of existing profile

Note: Make sure the profile you are trying to create does not exist already. If it does exist, rename the account in the profiles list. Make sure your logon is administrator or any other account with admin privleges on the local machine. Make sure you are not logged on as the account your trying to move.
