How to migrate users from one forest to another.

Hi,

I need to migrate 30 users from one forest to another. The only way I know
how to do this is:

1. Create 30 new uses on the new DC in the new forest (including the path to
the new roaming user profile location and gpo for redirected folders).
(This btw is already done)

2. At the old DC in the old forest, return their redirected folders (my doc,
application data and desktop) back to their workstations. (This maybe a
problem as I don't think some of the local hard drives will have enough
space for up to 15 users profiles).

3. Walk up to each workstation (15 of them) and disjoin form the old domain,
logoff, and then join to the new domain.

4. When the user logs on to the new domain, the profiles and folders will
redirect automatically.

Is there an easier way to do this? A tool maybe?

Thanks!
