    Hello all

    I am a network admin for a community college and am having a bit of a issue. We have recently purchased 300 new computers for are administrative staff and will be swapping them out over the coming weeks. What I am looking for is a way to make moving the users to the new computer easier. I am not worried about moving the programs because all the programs are included in the new images that will be pushed out to the new machines. What I would to do is be able to move the users profile (Documents, desktop, bookmarks, etc).

    Does anyone know of a way to do this that is fairly straight forward or perhaps a piece of software. Right now the best I can do is copying the documents folder, desktop folder and exporting the booksmarks manually to a network drive and then copying them back to a new profile on the new machine. Is there something that would let me migrate an entire profile to a network drive and then just move it back?

    Thanks for any advice you can offer
