Can this be done with any of the free applications the website offers?
I want to move a profile from an XP Pro to a Win 7 box same domain.

Hi - I am about to replace a bunch of PCs (WIN/XPPro) within a SBS2003 Domain to new PCS running WIn7Pro, so I would like to hear from your experience if you would like to share with me.... I have been using this same product for quite sometime, replacing PCs using WIN/XPP to WIN/XPP - works quite well 95% of the time.

As I know WIN7 the structure (folder name) is a bit different, such as no more 'Document & Settings folder, now called USers'.... etc. So did you find the migration works just fine from XP to W7, and are you joining the same DOMAIN user when switching the O/S?

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Do you know when will the next Beta be available?

I am about the replace new PCs currently running WIN/XPP within a MS-SBS2003 DOmain server environment.

I need to migrate their E-mail (MS-Outlook and some OL Express), document folders, desktop, printers etc etc.

I have been using your product migrating from WINXPP to WINXPP when replacing PCs - works just wonderful, will this be the same for WIN/XPP to W7? Is there anything extra I woudl need to watch for or patch things up manually?

Your help to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I have recomended yoru product to many other I.T. professional too!

Thanks!
