Would you mind sharing the script, or provide a little detail on what was in
it?

Jesse,

I have had success with USMT doing the kind of thing you ask.  However,
starting with Windows Vista, WMI provides functions to manipulate user
profiles in place.

I wrote a script that takes advantage of the ChangeOwner method of
Win32_UserProfile.  It changes the user profile owner in place, whereas USMT
is designed to export the user profile to a file and then reload it.
Changing the owner in place is faster and more effective in that fewer
settings get lost.

Looks promising.

Is this a utility that lets you plug in your parameters and then returns a
script? If so, can you do more than one machine at a time?

 

Thanks,

I've been moving a few users to new machines and have had luck with Transwiz
from ForensIT.

Windows Gurus -

I want to install a new AD domain in my office. the workstations are all
Win7. I would like to join a workstation to the new domain, then migrate
the user profile to the new domain on the same machine.

Can I do this with USMT?

 

Thanks,
