Simple Profile Transfer

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am looking to transfer profiles from one account on a machine to another.  We are transferring computers from an in house Active Directory to a cloud based Azure AD hosted domain.  So I would like to export the users profile while on the old domain.  I will then manually remove the computer from the old domain and join the new AD domain.  I will then log on the user to the new domain and would then like to restore the users profile from the old domain.  Is this possible?

	It's much easier than that You'll need to join the machine to Azure AD, because Microsoft don't provide a means for us to do that for you, but then you just need to run User Profile Wizard to assign the existing profile to the new Azure AD account.

	Ah ok so I don't even need to export the profile? So I remove the machine from the existing domain, then join the AD domain, then run the profile wizard and assign the existing profile to the new Azure AD account?
