I want to migrate domain accounts into local accounts. For example, Domain\User1 will become Computer\User1; it doesn't matter whether user keep the same username.

My question is, that we have applied quite a lot of Group Policies, when I tried the User Profile Wizard I couldn't see any of those group policy settings been migrated to the local user account. For example, the Password policy to ensure length and complexity of password has not been migrated into Local Security Policy. So, I want to check that if User Profile Wizard will handle GPOs (not registry keys) when migrating accounts?

Hi,

No, the Wizard migrates profiles from one account to another and it can automate joining the computer to a new domain / unjoining it from a domain / joining Entra by installing a Provisioning Package.

It does not migrate any settings, you will need to apply any local computer settings.

Many thanks,

Support.
