“Copy Profile” doesn’t work in the same way like windows Vista

Hi. I’m a sysadmin in college, and I’m beginning to frustrate by the Copy Profile issue in Windows 7.

Administrator or any other user who has admin privilege CANNOT copy a user profile to Default profile. When I researched the issue, a few websites suggests that I need to manually copy and paste a user folder and change the name to Default. But, it didn’t work at all.

So far, the only way it worked was I must enable “Copy Profile” option to “True” in Sysprep answer file. I also must use only “administrator” user and apply the sysprep answer file directly to the local administrator. That was the only way to successfully copy the profile to the default user’s profile.

I just don’t know this is a bug or not.
