Would you mind sharing the script, or provide a little detail on what was in it?

Jesse,
I have had success with USMT doing the kind of thing you ask. However, starting with Windows Vista, WMI provides functions to manipulate user profiles in place.
I wrote a script that takes advantage of the ChangeOwner method of Win32_UserProfile. It changes the user profile owner in place, whereas USMT is designed to export the user profile to a file and then reload it. Changing the owner in place is faster and more effective in that fewer settings get lost.

Looks promising.
Is this a utility that lets you plug in your parameters and then returns a script? If so, can you do more than one machine at a time?
Thanks,

I’ve been moving a few users to new machines and have had luck with Transwiz from ForensIT.

Windows Gurus –
I want to install a new AD domain in my office. the workstations are all Win7. I would like to join a workstation to the new domain, then migrate the user profile to the new domain on the same machine.
Can I do this with USMT?
Thanks,
