Good morning,
I am very excited to have found this software and this forum. I have read the forum posts for the last two years, and I have read the manual. I am ready to move forward, but with limited time to be successful, I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of how this should go. One thing I did notice in a few threads was that it is important to join the PC to the new SBS domain before anything else. I currently have Windows XP Pro PCs joined to a Windows Server 2003 Standard domain called Church.Local I have installed and completed the basic setup of the new Windows Server SBS 2011 STD. I have not visited any PC yet, so they are up and running on the old domain. Here is what I beleive to be the process: 1) Install User Profile Wizard on new Server and run the wizard to create the config file. 2) Create all domain user accounts on new SBS 2011 Server 2) Turn off old server 3) Visit each workstation and login in as an administrator and run http://sbs2011_server/connect 4) Reboot PC and and log into new domain as administrator 5) Run User Profile Wizard from a USB stick at each PC 6) Instruct UPW to connect the User.OldDomain profile to the new User.NewDomain account 7) Reboot and log in as User.NewDomain 8) Turn OldServer back on and move any rogue user files from the old server to the user's directory on the new server Is this it? Surely I am missing something important???? Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,
This is the procedure we recommend. Please note that you do not have to install User Profile Wizard on the new server: you can install it on any PC in order to create the config file. |

But I CAN do it from the server, yes? I'm working remotely on the server now, and I thought I would do it there rather than from a workstation when I arrive on site.

Any version of User Profile Wizard can do this. Remember that the Personal Edition does not have the features of the Professional Edition.

Is it necessary to remove the PCs from the old domain before running http://servername/connect to put them in the new domain?

It is required to disconnect from the old domain for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. It won't let you connect a PC joined to a different domain.
