Hi im looking into user profile wizard ver3...
 
I have tried migrating one lab pc sucessfully with the following
 
domain1\username  --to--> domain2\anotheruser
 
The only thing that trubels me is that if i check under the C:\Documents and Settings
the old userprofile folder was "username.domain1" and now its named only "username"
is this right?
 
I thought it would be named anotheruser.domain2 otherwise it might conflict with say software distrubution or some other software that might use %username% variable ect.

Hi,
 
The profile folder name and the user name are treated independently by Windows. We know of no problems where the profile folder name does not match the user name.
 
If a user 'Jane' logs onto a Windows workstation, Windows will create a profile folder called 'Jane' regardless of whether she is logging on using a domain account or a local account. Only if a profile folder called 'Jane' already exists will Windows create a profile folder called Jane.domain1.
 
As far as User Profile Wizard is concerned, by default it will not rename the existing profile folder. With version 3.0 you can change this by setting the RenameProfileFolder attribute in the Profwiz.config file to 'True'

Okey i found this setting, tried it did not work. I then noticed that its under an comment

Do i need an license for the app to notice this? Im running the free version now as of testing. If i get it to work right i will purchase alot of licenses to my company.
