Migrate from old domain user profile to another profile under new trusted domain

Question

i'm changing the domain from windows 2008R2 to samba4.2. now, is there any way to migrate the existing old domain user profile to new trusted domain in the fastest way? i did changing the registry profilelist. but windows 8.1 having error on group policy client sign-in failed, therefore, any alternate way to doing it?

Regards, MH

Here is the answer.

Created new_user account
Logged in as new_user to initialize profile
Rebooted
Logged in as Administrator and copied profile from old PC's hard drive to C:\Users\old_profile
Changed permissions of C:\Users\old_profile: Added new_user account with Full Access
Changed new_user's ProfileImagePath key in registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] to C:\Users\old_profile
Loaded hive C:\Users\old_profile\ntuser.dat and added new_user account with Full Access
Load hive C:\Users\old_profile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat and add new_user account with Full Access permissions.
Rebooted
Logged in as new_user
