Copy profile utility
Folks, We are using Quest migration utility to migrate from eDir to AD. The utilities include a profile copy utility, but it works only 80% of the time and troubleshooting generally takes longer than just manually adding the PC to the domain then copying the profile. As for profile copy utilities, I found this one: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ED182A96-F3A6-4FDD-862B-1AE03DC130C1displaylang=en - anyone used this? 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.

Re: Copy profile utility
I have never used the CopyProfile utiliy but I have used moveuser and several others. One of the biggest problems I have seen with all the utilities are permissions or files in use. Beofre running the utilities check permissions and reboot the computer to clear any files that are in use. And when you log back in do not login with the profile you are going to copy.

RE: Copy profile utility
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? -sc From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org] Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 8:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Copy profile utility Folks, We are using Quest migration utility to migrate from eDir to AD.

RE: Copy profile utility
We also used Quest with mixed success. Sometimes we just pointed the profile to the old one via a reghack. From: Steven M.
