I am converting from an NT Domain to Active Directory. On my work station what should I do in regards to my profile to utilize AD?
 
I am not sure I understand, but the Domain Controller should "push" anything required.
 
I have been told that I need to copy my existing profile and then move to the new AD Domain, not really sure how to do this?
 
Hi,
Log in at least once to AD - this sets up your AD profile..

Log in again ( workstation only ) as administrator -

There is now a tool ( I think in user management ) the will let you copy a profile from your older NT profile to your new AD one.
Check the Help docs..

The key is that you cannot be logged in as either of the 2 users ( IIRC)...

I invite you to use Google on the search term: "migrating nt profiles to win2k server"

There are both native tools, and third-party products discussed that may help.

There is no single answer to your question.
