Upgrading from 2000

I'm working on deploying Office 2003 as an upgrade from Office 2000
for my organization (yes I know there is a 2007 but thats a different
story). I have successfully made my application with the 2003 Office
Tools Resource kit to install/upgrade 2003, apply service pack 3 and
install a couple of additional plugins that we use. In my test
environment I am finding that the upgrade is not saving settings like
my customized toolbars between the 2000 and 2003 versions. I don't
think that this is a big issue but a few of my employees have highly
customized toolbars that they don't want to redo.

In the Customize Default Application Settings screen of the Custom
Install Wizard, I have the Do not Customize; use MS default values
chosen, but I have also checked the Migrate user settings box on that
screen. I have also tried to manually back up the 2000 profile and
restore it to 2003 using the Profile Wizard from the toolkit, and even
though it shows activity, it also doesn't update my toolbars.

Am I missing a setting somewhere, or is this just the way this is
going to work? My goal is to automatically deploy 2003 without having
to go to each machine to run the install and/or backup and restore
settings, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
