USMT - Moving from NT4 style domain to 2008 AD and maintaining users profile

Hi all

Have done heaps of digging, but still can't seem to clarify what i want todo.  Have read the USMT syntax article and doco, but no joy.

Here's our scenario.  We have currently run Novell eDir, which presents itself as a NT 4 style domain.  So computers and users can in theory have domain accounts.  We're moving to 2008 with a nice clean AD.  Using Identity Management, all our user accounts will be pre-populated in AD with the same usernames/passwords as in eDir.

I'm using MDT and USMT to create a way to deploy Windows 7 to our desktops from XP, and want to be able to capture any user profiles on the XP machine, image it, then create the user profiles back onto the Windows 7 machine but now obviously pointing to their AD account.

It seems to create the user profile OK, along with any files in their Desktop/My Docs etc.  But when i first login to the domain with that user account, it creates a new profile called USERNAME.DOMAINNAME (Obviously replace username with the user, and domainname with our new AD)

IN THEORY.  Should what i want todo be possible?  Move a users profile (All files and reg keys etc) from a Windows XP machine connected to a "NT4 style domain" to a Windows 7 machine connected to an AD, and have the user seamlessly log in, and have all their files ready to go.  Not knowing they've moved domains?

Cheers
