We also used Quest with mixed success. Sometimes we just pointed the profile
to the old one via a reghack.

We used the Quest tools (vmover.exe) for  a migration and had near 100%
success with it. What are the issues? Are you getting error logs from the
tool to track down? Have you tried doing a dry run to see what the tool is
reporting?

Folks,

 

We are using Quest migration utility to migrate from eDir to AD.  The

It's pretty old, but if it works, I'm good.

 

I know Moveuser from the 2003 resource kit should work, but have not tested
it.  

 

These are XP workstations in a 2008 domain.

 

Suggestions, comments, welcome.
