How well does the program work with SBS 2003. I am frequently moving computers from one user to another as we upgrade our client computers. We buy a new computer, give it to one of our users and then move their old computer to another user. Since we don't use roaming profiles I need to transfer the users settings/files to the new computer. I have found Microsoft's FAST to be problematic. Are their any issues with using the Move Computer program within a domain?

Hi,

One of the things that we set out to do with Transfer Wizard was give you the abilty to archive a profile and then assign it to any account - not just the account the profile was originally assigned to. Transfer Wizard does this very successfully, and we are not aware of any problems in this area.

The software is still in beta, of course. However, the issues that have come up have been to do with the zip engine and error handling. The actual profile assignment has been very reliable. You should not have any problems assigning a profile to a SBS 2003 domain account.
