Profiles Migration

[Steven L Chan]

I am in the process of replacing our Windows 2000 TS with a new Windows 2003
box.

I would like to know besides USMT, what other migration tool(s) would help
me ease the transition over to the new server?

I have about 50 users that I need to migrate.

Thanks,
Steven

Re: Profiles Migration

How are you using USMT? From the system requirements page:

"USMT does not support any version of Microsoft Windows Server as
either a source or destination system."

I'm not so sure that you really want to migrate profiles between
different OS versions. They are *not* identical.

Redirect My Documents and IE Favorites to a network share.

Interesting.

Users' My Document is already pointed to a network share. So basically, I
would have to recreate all the profiles on the new terminal server?

Re: Profiles Migration

You could buy a 3rd party utility to migrate profiles from someone like
Quest software. I"m not sure who else does profile migration at this
point but I'm sure there are more if you google.
