Hello all,

I recently discovered the ForensiT user profile tool to assist with a domain migration. I decided to test it out today without much thought and ended up mapping my domain account onto another profile on my computer. I am now unable to access my old local profile.

I noticed my old local profile appears when I click "show unassigned profiles" on the tool but I am receiving the following when I attempt to reassign the profile path:

"""

Target device: GG-IT-TECH2

OS build 10.0.19044.1466. Version 2009.

Domain: PARKS

Finding Domain Controller for domain PARKS... Done.

Using Domain Controller: \\GG-CFDC2.ad.cedarfair.com

Binding to Active Directory... Done.

Getting FQDN for user "jeremiah.oliva"... Done.

Getting Domain SID... Done.

SID is S-1-5-21-861567501-616249376-725345543-203138

Checking for roaming profile... Done.

No roaming profile path set.

Setting Registry ACLs... Fails.

Unable to load Profile. Error 5.

Could not load 'C:\Users\jeremiah.oliva\ntuser.dat'.

Migration Fails.

"""

Any insight into a possible fix would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

This is a very unusual error when migrating a profile. (The process is running as SYSTEM).

I would reboot the machine. Sign-in as a different (Admin) user account, and then attempt to migrate the original profile again.

If you are still having a problem, please email support@forensit.com
