I am evaluating the Transwiz Personal Edition and have a couple questions before I get started.

My goal is to copy some User Profiles from an existing stand-alone Windows Server 2012R2 VM instance (no domain controller) to a new stand-alone Windows Server 2019 VM instance. The main objective is to preserve the SIDs so that the existing ACLs on my shared network volumes continue to work.

The Transwiz User Guide discusses copying profiles from Workstation OSes (e.g., Windows 10) but I didn't see it mention copying from a Server OS. Is copying a local profile from one server to another server supported?

Thanks!
