I have never been that keen on altering the default profile. No particular justification to support my view but I like to leave sys/system and dbsnmp alone.

Also, keep in mind that in 11g (not sure it was since 11gR1 or only in 11gR2) passwords expire by default after 180 days... . So best to either create a new profile (which I prefer) and put the users in this profile or alter the default profile.

This works,
I'm currently using this to move users from a 10g to 11g database.  The kicker is to remember that 11g, by default, now uses case sensitivity in the passwords.  So, if they entered their password in all lower case in 10g, that's still what they need to do.

Select 'Create User '            || UserName ||           || Chr(10) ||

       'Default Tablespace '     || Default_Tablespace    || Chr(10) ||

Where  User_ID       > 33
Order By UserName

Hope this helps.
