migration to new domain
Suggestions? More like a shot in the dark. :)
Have you seen the transfer your settings wizard in XP? Have you checked
to see what that can do for you? I suspect there will be some scripting
involved, because there will be no automated way to determine the
source/target profiles programatically. You could migrate their settings etc,
but there's no sid/sidhistory to reference. Not much point in getting that
information either. There's also the permissions issues etc.
Was it me, I'd suggest taking this opportunity to re-image the
workstations in question. Cleaner, neater, more secure, and no lingering
issues to deal with.

Hi
all
The environment I'm in has multiple domains and I've been given a
task
to move about 40 users from one domain to another. There's no trust
between the source domain and mine and no plans to have one. Too
much
red tape. My dilemma is trying to preserve the user's desktop
profiles
when they come over to my domain. In the past there's been a
trust
between any domain migrations I've performed which provides a host
of
avenues but with no trust I'm not sure of a way to do it other than
some
manual moves and permission/registry tweaks. However, doing that for
40
users with a manual process is not my idea of fun. Saving their email
is
covered so it's not an issue. Any ideas or methods would be
welcomed.
Many thanks
Jerry
