eyalmargani %userprofile% is an https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/usmt/usmt-recognized-environment-variables and is the same as the user's profile path such as C:\users\eyalmargani\. You want either %userprofile%\Documents or what you had previously D:\users\%username%\documents\. You can open a cmd prompt and echo %userprofile%, and %username% to see what you get.
