2008 R2: Moving profiles from 2003 to 2008 w/ new domain


hi all, wanted ask general (or specific) clarification on how best handle followig.

first configuration background:

single-server environment, 2003 r2 dc/file server.

replacing new 2008 r2 machine, again dc , file server.

current mix of desktop systems include xp, vista, , 7.  users set roaming profiles. 

so issue there:

as result, 2003 system has user master folder profiles within it, , of course beacuase of desktop os mix, there profile, profile.v2, , profile.v2.v2 folders many users have @ least 2 profiles floating around.  unfortunately, these users still float between systems it's not can consider xp profile folder obsolete. 

so i'm wondering how should stuff moved on new server that'll in new domain, , link them newly created users there.  after having researched such things usmt , other options, ultiamtely, decision made copy profile folders over (taking ownership necessary allow me carry out without access denied errors), , once on new server, associate each profile (and v2 folders user) each user.  manual process seemed sure way done right. 

any comments or suggestions on welcome.  have read , continue read more on "user state virtualization" documentation ms these 300-page (or whatever) documents fail address in striaghtofrward manner optimal way accomplish goal. 

thank you!
