I'm using the personal edition of ForensIT to migrate my local user profile from Novell to a new Microsoft AD user profile (different name). On the surface it appears to work fairly well. However, after closer review, lots of application folders (Microsoft Office-2010, Acrobat, Symantec, Corel, etc/etc) do not get copied to the new domain user profile. These folders contain critical info & settings for my applications.
Base path is "c:\users\<domain user name>\appdata" for applications
Path is "c:\users\<domain user name>\appdata\roaming\microsoft" for Microsoft products.
How can I get these folders copied using the ProfWiz utility ??
Thanks.

User Profile Wizard does not move, copy or delete any data. Instead it configures the profile “in place” so that it can be used by the user’s new domain account.
There should be no "c:\users\<domain user name>" profile. When you logon with the new domain account you should continue to use the "c:\users\<old user name>" profile. If that is not happening the profile migration was unsuccessful. (Did you reboot the machine before logging in with the new domain account?) |

My 1st login after joining the domain creates the new domain profile. I then reboot and log in as local admin to perform the ProfWiz migration. Once completed I then reboot again. The next login is with the new domain user, and appears to load ok.
My apps are still pointing to the old profile, which is a problem.
I thought ProfWiz migrated the profile to the new domain user, then all subsequent logins would use the new domain profile folder structure. If that is not the case, then I need to try another software option.
Please advise.
Thanks.

User Profile Wizard configures the user's existing profile so that it is used by they new domain account. The apps are still pointing to the old profile because that is the profile the domain account is using.
You should absolutely not login and create a new profile for the domain account first. That profile will not be used once you run the Wizard to migrate the original profile to the new domain account. If you want the profile to be renamed to match the new domain account name you will need to use the Professional or Corporate Editions. |
