I noticed that there was a post a while ago entitled:

What I'm wondering is...

I'm an IT administrator/student who is running windows 7 for desktop and I'm running another computer with Server 2008 r2 for studying/training purposes. I have all sorts of documents and downloads that I would love to transfer over from an existing win 7 machine to an existing win 2008 r2 machine as if I was migrating from an old computer to a new computer is it possible?
I'm also thinking of changing the computers as the one I'm using for the desktop has an i7 920 processor and usb 3 for external drives and 12 gigs of tricor 1600 hyper x kingston ram and the box that's running the server now is a pfffbt computer... so I was wondering if I transfer the computer info over to the current server 2008 box and then transfer that over to the new 2008 box when I get it installed and up...???

Any ideas?

I've been going through the self paced MCTS 70-680 and I've been trying to figure out the WAIK and User Migration tool but it seems so bloated. I'm looking for a quicker tool. I've already used the profwiz to transfer/copy my local profile to my recently added domain profile and it worked quickly and flawlessly and I didn't even need to read the user guide.

Hi,

Yes, you should certainly be able to do these two tasks.
