SUMMARY
A user who creates a new profile has permission to use that profile, but someone with administrator permissions can permit other users to also use the profile. This article describes how to copy a profile to another domain and assign a user permission to use the copied profile. Note that permissions written to a profile are stored in the NTuser.xxx file.



MORE INFORMATION
To copy a profile to another domain and assign a user permission to use the profile:


 * 1) In Control Panel, double-click System.
 * 2) Click the User Profiles tab, click the profile, and then click Copy To.
 * 3) Type the path to the folder where user profiles are stored, or click Browse to locate the folder.

NOTE: The dialog box that appears when you click Browse does not permit you to create folders. You must create the required folder before you copy the profile.
 * 1) Click Change.
 * 2) In the List Names From box, click the name of the other domain.
 * 3) In the Names box for the other domain, select the user account of the person who is permitted to use the profile.
 * 4) Click OK until all open dialog boxes are closed.
