<br />
We use mdaemon mail server instead of exchange. <br />
<br />
Since there is no direct migration from Windows 2003 (or XP) to Windows 2008, we know we will have to build 1200 new roaming profiles. &nbsp;Are there scripts which can facilitate building 100 new profiles?<br />
<br />

I am looking for tips or tricks to make the migration easier.
