Win2k Copy profile error.

Hi,

When i make a Windows 2000 profession with SP3 fresh install for a workstation, i configure the desktop, the start menu and everithing as i like it to be for everyone as the default.

For this to be the default qhen i finish make all the changes i copy the local administrators profile to the default user profile.

When i do this i receive always the same error:

"Windows cannot copy file C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Cookies\index.dat to location C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Cookies\index.dat. Contact your network administrator"

As i'm the system administrator i call me everyday and there is no answer... :O)

Does anyone knows the reason, and the solution.

Thanks.

since your in a domain you need the rights of a domain admin to copy a profile which is stored on a server . The other way would be to change a server stored profile to a locally stored profil.if your profile is stored on the server, you can copy it as a domain admin while you are logged in(just tried it, never occured to me before)

Are you going to create an image to deploy on all workstations? if so then:

How many endusers is this being deployed to?
Are you using sysprep to create a new SID?
Can you use Ghost or DriveImage to create images?
