How to copy a Mac user profile

Hi Guys,
I'm moving all my Mac users to an Active Directory domain using the Directory Utility.
Currently I can add a Mac to the AD domain, and login with a domain user, if this is the first time this person is using the Mac computer then everything works fine.

Now, I have some users that already have Mac computers and they have personalized profiles with their local users already.

So my question is:

What is the best way to copy a local Mac user profile to the newly created domain user account "Mobile profile" that is created the first time the domain user logs in?

Hi VDGinfo,
I look it up and found some sudo commands that seem to work for some people but they didn't work for me.
I will have to do it the old fashion way, like you said, copy from original profile and paste application by application whatever is needed.

The B is because you didn't include the sudo commands or where to find them.

Thanks.
