I know there is an easy way to migrate the 8 or so accounts I need to move from one machine to another so that I dont have to disjoin each machine and manually rejoin the new domain ..
Maybe I do have to do this manually, I dont know.
This is a fairly simple set of users. All I want to avoid is messing up the icons on their desktop , power settings, Outlook, NK2 data and all the other stuff we take for granted in a Windows Profile.
I know how to manually put all this back , its just quite tedious to do it for 10 users and I want to minimize down time.
Looking for ideas on the text book perfect way to do this migration .

The domain name is the same on each server. In this case, do I need to disjoin each workstation from the current domain and rejoin the new server once the old one is off.
Basically , for 6 users, I can just make them manually and copy over their stuff, desktop , etc.
I just dont want a registry nightmare from trying to login to a new server with the same domain name that is not indedd the same server.
and obviously , once disjoined , I suppose I need to check the administrator or some account on each machine so I can login on the stupid thing once the domain account is hozed.
