I get an error when I try to export a profile other than Administrator.

A. This is usually due insufficient privilege on the Protected Storage System Provider key. To be able to export your profile perform the following:
Logon as you
Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe)
Select the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER on Local Machine" window
Move to SoftwareMicrosoftProtected Storage System Provider
Select Permissions from the Security menu
Click Add
Select Domain Admins (or whatever you want), access type READ and click Add. When finished click OK
You should now be able to export this profile. To be able to export someone else's profile perform the following:
Logon as an Administrator
Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe)
Select the "HKEY_USERS on Local Machine" window
From the registry menu select "Load hive"
Move to the persons profile area in the %systemroot%Profiles, e.g. d:winntProfilesbatman
Select the NTUSER.DAT file and click OPEN
When asked for a key name enter their name (e.g. John) and click OK
Now move to SoftwareMicrosoftProtected Storage System Provider
Select Permissions from the Security menu
Click Add
Select Domain Admins (or whatever you want), access type READ and click Add. When finished click OK
Select Unload Hive from the registry menu
Close the registry editor
You will now be able to export this users profile.
