Two questions:<br />
<br />
Does the new domain have a different domain name? (I am assuming yes).<br />
Is the person that is logging on selecting the new domain name from the list of domains in the drop down menu on the signon page?

Yes the domain has a different name. The user is selecting the new domain from the drop down menu on the sign on page.

Our clients are running XP Pro in a 2003 Active Directory domain. We recently created a new domain in 2008. How comes when that user logins for the first time there isn't a new user profile created on his machine? I would think because he's in a new domain, under Documents and Settings there would be a new profile called Bob.Smith.NewDomain. Instead his user profile is still Bob.Smith.<br />

Thanks
