Changing the Domain Membership on a Windows Vista PC
I have a few Windows Vista PCs that are part of our old company's Network. We recently relocated and a new network was brought up from scratch. In the new process a new Domain was created on Active Directory within on a Wndows 2008 Server
I need to Join the PCs to this new domain and would like to transfer the profile/Desktop and My Documents for the individual users including their Outlook data to the new profile created for that new user/domain.
Is there a simple way to do this?

We just used the tool Mike linked to to migrate a bunch of computers to a new domain. It works pretty well, but I would recommend playing around with it so you can get used to how it works. I haven't tried the settings with it for changing the Domain the computer is on, but it will allow you to package a profile before changing the domain the computer is on and assign the new domain user that will take control of that profile. It's pretty capable software.
If you want to automate it a bit, look into the User State Migration Toolkit. I am sure if can do this (as it can do pretty much anything else).
