How to I copy a users roaming profile?

I have a user profile that I would like to copy to a test user's profile.
We're in a Server 2003 environment using Active directory. The profile that
I wat to copy is located in a directory called Roaming Profiles. It is a
mandatory profile. I've looked at KB324749 wich describes "How to create a
Roaming User Profile in Windows Server 2003". That article states to copy
the profile, I need to go to Control Panel, System, Advance, User Profiles.
The profile that i would like to copy is not in that list. How can I copy
all the user's profile settings so that when I apply it to another user, they
all transfer?

Help!!!

If you go into the Test user account's AD properties, Profile tab, specify
the path to it as the profile for the test user. Logon and a local copy
will be cached. Then logoff the test user, logon as the administrator, and
now you should be able to copy it to another user that has already logged
on.
