NetIQ. They have a very solid migration tool as well, but personally I think the Quest tool is slightly better, almost solely because it handles SQL migrations much better than NetIQ.

Not that this would help you now, but you might review their websites and review how they approach migrations to get an idea of what you might run into in the future. I am familiar with Quest /Aeltia's migration tools and Bindview's Migration Service. Both are really good. One thing to keep in mind though is the automation portions require RPC connectivity a lot of times to work from a remote console.

The file/directory part of the profile can be accessed after the migration using SID History (assuming your doing this). However the Registry portion of the profile(NTUser.dat) cannot use SID history. You can fake this out by specifying the TS Profile as the User Profile before the migration. ADMT with then translate the whole profile, at that point you should return the User Profile back to it's original state. Hope this helps.

Background: I have about 40 remote sites and a Citrix farm that is located with our central IT staff. We are about 20% through the migration which does not include any of the central servers (we do have servers at most of our remote sites) or the Citrix farm. We are using the ADMTv2 tool to migration the users, groups, workstations and servers. Problem: Our Citrix profiles path don't seem to be working very well after we conduct the migration. We were having an issue with a number of our applications and we discovered that if we copied our "Terminal Services Profile" Home Folder to our Profile Home Folder location most of the apps then work correctly. However, I don't think that the profile stuff is functioning correctly. I have deleted one users Citrix Profile and what usually happens is when the user logs into Citrix it automatically creates a new profile for them. This doesn't seem to be happening, however they are still able to use Citrix. If this user still has her old profile then she receives an error when she tries to run the application. Has anyone seen this type of issue when conducting the migration of Citrix users?
