How to transfer account information from one to the other on Mac OS X 10.6.*

Hello,

We have recently had a wave of Mac machines come into our office, and I am working on getting them to work properly in our windows enviornment. So far I have been able to make a script to map their network drives and get them connected to the network. Unfortunately, I had some of the users working on local accounts until I figured out how to properly connect them to the domain via ADUC. Now that I have that figured out, I want to move the users account items and preferences to their network/local mobile accounts. What would be the easiest way to do this, or will I have to setup all their preferences again?

Thanks in advance

I seem to be having some syntax errors on the third step. I am doing the 'chown -R username:group homefolder' is 'username' supposed to be the new username? and is homefolder supposed to be the old homefolder? here is the command i am putting in 'chown -R newusername:736100069 oldhomefolder' when i do this it says 'chown: oldhomefolder: No such file or directory'

Looking at the user accounts, the old account has (Deleted) next to it, which seems to be addressed in the next step.
