Thread: Migrating Local User Profiles from one domain to another

  1. #1
    Corey Arndt Guest

    Migrating Local User Profiles from one domain to another

    We are migrating from Windows NT4 Domain to Windows 2003 with Active
    Directory.

    One question on migrating the computers.

    When migrating we are using a different name than on the NT Domain.
    Is there a way to migrate the user's computer profiles (local) from DomainA
    to DomainB so that the user's do not loose all of their settings?

    Thank You

    RE: Migrating Local User Profiles from one domain to another

    Hello,

    Thanks for your post.

    I understand you want to know how to migrate the user's computer profiles
    (local) from DomainA to DomainB. If I have misunderstood, please feel free
    to let me know.

    Based on my research, there are several methods to achieve the goal as
    following:

    Method 1: ADMT (When using method 1, we recommend to use Replace mode
    instead of the add mode in ADMT.)

    ================
    If you have not migrated the user accounts to win2k3, I suggest you use
    ADMT to achieve this goal. ADMT - the Active Directory Migration tool, has
    the ability to "translate" account security information. The following link
    has addressed the details:

    Remigrating User Accounts and Workstations in Batches
    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...003/all/deploy
    guide/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/de
    ployguide/en-us/dssbi_reer_zgwe.asp

    Translating Local User Profiles
    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...003/all/deploy
    guide/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/de
    ployguide/en-us/dssbg_rent_vgkz.asp

    You can see this function in ADMT is not in computer migration wizard, it
    is in Security Translation Wizard.

    Method 2: Moveuser.exe
    =========================

    The Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit has a tool "moveuser.exe" that will
    re-associate a profile with another user account. It's specifically for
    this scenario where you need to move a profile from local -> domain. One
    thing to note is that this can't be done while the user is logged on. It
    can however be done remotely so it could be scripted.

    More details can be found in the following link:
    Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...a69-57ff-4ae7-
    96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

    f/en-us/Default.asp?url=/Resources/Documentation/windowsserv/2003/all/techre
    f/en-us/moveuser.asp


    Method 3: USMT (method 3 is available on XP machine)
    ================
    Use USMT - the user state migration tool. Note that this is for Windows
    XP, so it won't help with NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. But it does point at the
    direction of the future.
    <<http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...serstate/defau
    lt.asp>>

    For more information on USMT,
    <http://search.microsoft.com/default.asp?qu=usmt> and click "go" to search.


    Method 4: Copy the user profile (method 4 is for 2k or above client machine)
    =========================
    If manually copying profile is acceptable, you can use the Copy to function
    to copy the local profile to domain user profile. Please use the following
    steps:

    1. Log the user onto the new domain once to create the his/her user
    profile and to add the path to it in the ProfilesList registry key
    2. Log off as the user and log in as an administrator
    3. Copy the user's profile
    4. Right click on My Computer and go to Profiles
    5. Once in Profiles, use "Copy To," to copy the original profile to the
    new profile's path. Also, use "Permitted to Use," to give the new user
    account permission to use the copied profile.
    6. Log off as the administrator and logon as the user

    Note: You may find the copy to button is grayed out. If so, please refer to
    the following article:

    291555 The "Copy To" Button in the System Properties Dialog Box Is
    Unavailable

    HTH!

    Re: Migrating Local User Profiles from one domain to another

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    This helps us greatly. We could not re-migrate but we are able to use the
    migrateuser.exe. This will save us a bunch of time. We are trying to get
    this to work remotely but are getting an error (no biggie).
    Thank you again

    Re: Migrating Local User Profiles from one domain to another

    One other thing I forgot.
    When we migrated the computers we did an 'Add' so when the users log into
    the network they can choose from the Old Domain, New Domain, and Local
    Computer. Is there a way to remove the Old Domain from the Choices?

    Re: Migrating Local User Profiles from one domain to another

    Hello,

    I'm very glad to hear the suggestions are helpful to you.

    Meanwhile, you want to know if you can remove the old domain option form
    the Choises.

    Based on my experience, you cannot remove it because you have established
    the trust between these two domains.

    HTH!

    Thanks & Regards

    Re: Migrating Local User Profiles from one domain to another

    There is a tool called as Profile Migrator 1.1. This tool allows you to migrate a user from domain to another. This is the new version which comes with various fixes. You should try this one and then check. The tool also comes with a number of options that can allow you to setup a automatic function for the migration process.
