I am looking at using this product for a clean SBS 2011 install. Currently, we have a SBS 2003 server with 5 workstations all joined to domain "XYZ". I am NOT doing the Microsoft SBS Migration method, instead I am building our new server with SBS 2011 as a clean install. I realize I will have to1) migrate over user profiles, 2) migrate server data/shares, etc... The new domain is ALSO going to be called "XYZ". (same old old domain). Am I getting these steps right? (using Profile Wizard 3.6 free edition). 1. Build new SBS 2011 server with "XYZ" as the domain. 2. Un-join the 5 PCs from the old "XYZ" domain and join to a workgroup. 3. Create the same user accounts on the new "XYZ" domain on SBS 2011 server. 4. When the 5 PCs are joined to workgroup, run the Profile Wizard logged in as a the local administrator. 5. Select "XYZ" as domain name (and enable Join Domain) and enter "User1" as the user 6. When wizard asks to select the OLD user, I select "XYZ\User1" ?? or... since I previously joined it to a Workgroup, is that all messed up..? I'm a bit confused by this process. I just want to make sure that, the old domain user profiles will still be accessible/transferable to the new domain, even when the machine has been unjoined from the old domain and put into a workgroup. Having the old and new domains on the network at the same time isn't really easy to do so prefer not to do that... I can't afford to LOSE my user's profile settings... so need the migration to occur properly or I'l never hear the end of it.
