Basically you cant copy profiles because Microsoft dont want you to! Microsoft disabled the profile "copy to" function, to many peoples anger, because there are issues with copying user profiles especially the default users, there has been since vista and some updates even changed the behaviour in XP under certain environments. KB959753 is Microsoft recommend solution it basically involves using sysprep to configure the default user on machines at deployment or by using login scripts to manipulate a users profile on logon on existing systems. There is, however, a unofficial solution that can be found on the following site.

Say I have Win XP on a domain and have a local profile setup all nice. I'll log onto the domain, let the profile be created, reboot, then login as a generic AD or local account and then just copy the contents of my perfectly setup local account, to the domain profile folder of the AD user I logged into. That way, when I next login, it all looks the same as my local account.
Use to do this at work as well.
Trying it on Windows 7 and it ain't happen. It know won't let me login to the domain, on this PC with that account. Because I copy the whole profile from a local, perfectly setup account.
