Keep Local Profile as Domain Profile when/after joining Windows 7 box to domain

Hello all,

I'm not quite sure this is where this question would go, but I wanted to get some ideas from you all since this type of thing isn't my specialty.

I have several Windows 7 machines that have been used primarily on the local profile. Now, I need to join these machines to a domain, but maintain all the settings from the local profile.  As we all know, a new profile is created when you log into a domain.

I've tried pointing the ProfileImagePath (in the registry) to the local profile, but received a notification that I had been logged into a temporary profile.  Even though copying the profile is out of the question (I have some local profiles that are 13 GB) .... I decided to entertain myself and see if it could be done.  Logging in as the domain administrator, the 'Copy To' button was grayed out when selecting the local profile.  So, I'm at a bit of a loss..... has anyone got any ideas or experience with this type of scenario they would share?

Thanks in advance!
