I am in the process of upgrading a peer to peer network to a W2K3 Server client/server network. &nbsp;I plan to use roaming profiles and I have 2 questions.<br />

1.) - Does the user's application data get copied with the profile to the server? &nbsp;How about remembered form fields &amp;&nbsp;passwords?<br />

I am in the process of upgrading a peer to peer network to a W2K3 Server client/server network.  I plan to use roaming profiles and I have 2 questions.

1.) - Does the user's application data get copied with the profile to the server?  How about remembered form fields & passwords?

2.) -  Everyone is currently using local profiles on their pc's.  Is there anyway I can move these profiles seemlessly when I join the domain?  Many of the login names won't match up.  I really don't want to have to manually move all their data to a new profile.

Upgrading P2P network to domain... want to keep profiles intact.
