Move profiles from server 2003 to new 2008R2 domain controller
I have a small single server domain running server 2003. I added a 2008R2 domain controller as a secondary DC. I need to move the profiles to the new 2008 DC. The 2003 server is old, slow and running out of room. What is the best way to move the profiles and the redirected documents folders. The workstations are XP, Win7 and 8.1.

windows easy transfer or ADMT will do it for you.
We use Profile Migrator:

Did you join the new server to same the Active Directory forest as the old server? If so, Active Directory will replicate to the new server as it is a domain controller.
You can then use robocopy from the command prompt to copy over the user profiles and any data that you need to copy over. Please refer to the link below for robocopy examples.
