I'm trying to copy a user profile from one to the other. The given machine is changing domains. So I: - Loaded easy transfer and created a .mig file on a second hard drive in the machine. - Changed domain memberships - Logged in to the new domain as the new user, with admin privs. - Load Easy Transfer, it finds the file ok, looks at it for a couple of minutes and then says it can't open it. I've tried copying the file to the local C drive and I get he same results. No additional information, no error details. I did this on my own laptop exactly without a problem. Why won't this machine do the same thing? It's not from a different version of Windows, it's created by this machine. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks, I tried that and many other suggestions. None work. WEP is broken garbage with no resolution. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Try taking ownership of the file - http://www.blogsdna.com/2159/how-to-take-ownership-grant-permissions-to-access-files-folder-in-windows-7.htm . Jerry
