Hi,
User Profile Wizard does not attempt to change folder redirection settings when migrating a user to a new domain.
Assuming that you have set up the redirection of the folder in AD via a Group Policy, by far the easiest thing to do is remove the policy prior to the migration. (One option would be to create a new "Migration" OU with the new GPO and move your users to it.)
To create the policy, go to "User Configuration\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection\My Documents" in the Group Policy Object Editor, and change the "Target" setting to "Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location." You can then change the Target Folder Location to "Redirect to the local userprofile location."
Important! You must also change the "Policy Removal" setting on the "Settings" tab to "Redirect the folder back to the local userprofile location when policy is removed." If you don't do this, the user's data will stay on the server! Not only that, if you do not set the folder back to a local "My Documents" folder, the new domain will try to redirect the old domain server folder - which won't work.
If you don't reset the policy, you will have to copy the "My Documents" data locally before the machine joins the new domain, maybe via a script, and then change the "Personal" string value in the registry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders back to "%userprofile%\My Documents". You should just be able to create a "My Documents" folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Username.
We can't really use the locally synchronised data, as this held kept in a cache typically under C:\Windows\CSC.
