No, there is no way to migrate local and domain accounts on the same machine in the same operation. However, you can certainly run User Profile Wizard again, after the initial migration, to migrate the remaining local accounts.]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:40:05 +0000 http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=447&PID=1460#1460 Move Computer : Terminal Server supported? http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=449&PID=1459#1459 Author: Support

Theoretically, yes you can - although it might be a good idea to transfer the profiles in smaller batches!
 
Remember Transwiz can only migrate profiles with paths that are store in the registry: it cannot migrate profiles where the profile path is stored on the user account object in AD.

I've used Profile Transfer Wizard for moving individual files with great success. I now have to migrate profiles from a 2003 Terminal Server to a 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server. Source machine (2003) has about 1000 profiles to move. Can the corporate version move all 1000 profiles from one machine to the other in a single batch operation?]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:58:22 +0000 http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=449&PID=1456#1456 Domain Migration : Local vs Domain user names http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=447&PID=1455#1455 Author: francisswest

Thanks for getting back to me regarding this, and it does make sense. I kind of figured that the program assumed the oldusernamehere was at the old domain. My question then is kind of odd, and doesnt apply to every computer we have. (To be clear, we absorbed this mini set of computers that were poorly managed prior to our taking them over)

The result is that we have computers with accounts that are both local, and domain accounts. To add to the complexity, some of the local accounts have the same name as domain accounts, and they are all being mapped to 1 domain account (i'm assuming profile sharing is involved here)

So our thought goes something like this

localaccount,domainaccount
domainaccount,domainaccount

I'm sorry if this is darn confusing, but any assistance would be much appreciated. My assumption (from the above post) is that there is no real way to grab both local and domain accounts if they have the same name, and migrate them to a domain account? If that is so, can I use the profile wizard AFTER running the migration, to migrate the local user, or even share that local users profile with the domain one?

Again, I hope this makes sense. If it doesnt, please feel free to send me a PM, and I can give you my skype info.]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:24:53 +0000 http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=447&PID=1455#1455 Domain Migration : Local vs Domain user names http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=447&PID=1453#1453 Author: Support

Hi,

Which accounts User Profile Wizard migrates depends on how the migration has been set up. If you are automating the migration of multiple profiles, the <OldDomain> value in Profwiz.config specifies which account profiles get migrated. If you specify an <OldDomain> value only accounts from that domain will be migrated. If <OldDomain> is blank, only local account profiles will be migrated. If you are migrating the "currently logged on user" the account - local or domain - is specified on the command line.

In either case, User Profile Wizard looks only for the username in the lookup file: it does not look for any domain information. If you have a line like

oldusername,newusername

it does not matter whether oldusername is a domain account or a local account, it will still get mapped to newusername. What deterimes whether oldusername is a domain or local account is how the migration has been set up, not the users.csv file.

We have a mixed environment with some domain users and some local accounts. We would like to map both types of accounts to a new domain account, and have found a way to accomplish this. Our users.csv looks like this:

user1@old.domain.net,user1@new.domain.net
localuser1,user2@new.domain.net


The first line works great, and the account is migrated without issue. However since each computer name is different, we are having a hard time trying to figure out how to specify that "localuser1" is on the local machine, and not the domain. Is there a suffic or prefix we could add to it to make the program know that it is on the local machine only?

Thanks]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:20:52 +0000 http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=447&PID=1449#1449 Domain Migration : GPUpdate http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=446&PID=1443#1443 Author: Support

It would certainly be possible to create a follow-on script to run GPUpdate. If it ran it we think it would pull settings from the new domain: the workstation would no longer trust the old domain. However, the workstation Group Policy Client service may have to be restarted for it to work...

In other words, you are going to have to try it Smile

I am currently using the User Profile Wizard, and was wondering if it would be possible to use a follow-on script to force a group policy update from the domain that the machine is being migrated onto.

For example, currently when we are switching computers onto our domain, we need to manually add them to the domain, reboot in order to update those changes, and then run a 'gpupdate /force' in the command prompt. If we were to write a follow-on script to force the group policy update, would the update be pulling from the domain that we are migrating the machine onto, or would it still be pulling from the original domain? If it is the latter, would there be another way to write the script such that it can update the group policy from the new domain?]]> Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:43:01 +0000 http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=446&PID=1441#1441 Domain Migration : Error 53 Path not found http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=1440#1440 Author: Support

Check the IP configuration of the machine – look for any out-of-date static IP settings. Also check which DNS servers the machine is using and make sure they match those of the other machines.]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:29:51 +0000 http://forum.ForensiT.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=1440#1440
