Cannot Use "Copy To" Button for a Domain User Profile from Windows 2000 Professional

Q255573

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

Administrators cannot use the Copy To button on the User Profiles tab in System properties to copy a domain user profile from a Windows 2000 Professional-based computer that is a member of a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based domain. When you attempt to do so, the Look in box in the Select User or Group dialog box does not display the list of domains. Instead, the Look in box is unavailable, and the name of the local computer is the only available name.
