Hello,
Thanks for your post.
>From your message, I understand that the issue is %username% has been
replaced by admin account instead of the migrating account. I would like to
confirm the migration steps you have taken. Do you use the User Migration
Wizard in ADMT and select "translate roaming profiles"
in the "User Options" tab?
Actually, when setting user profile path in NT domain User Manager, the
%username% will be converted to the user's real name as soon as we click
OK. In other words, the NT domain actually saves the user's real name
instead of %username%.
We have set up a similar environment and confirmed the above behaviors.
Therefore, I believe this is NOT an expected behavior if these user objects
were created manually in the NT domain.
Based on the current status, I suggest that we double check whether the
problem always occurs with all the accounts there.
For the problematic accounts, I understand that it would be very
complicated to manually adjust the roaming profile paths for the migrated
users, especially if there are a large number of users.
We have two methods:
Method 1:
==========================
The roaming profile path is saved in AD database as the corresponding user
object's profilePath attribute. A possible solution is to develop an ADSI
program or script to query each user object's profilePath attribute in AD
database and change them to the correct path.
Method 2:
==============================
Use the built-in tool DSMOD to change the user's roaming profile path. For
example, you may use the following command:
dsmod user <UserDN ...> [-profile <ProfilePath>]
You may code a batch file with commands like the above to change a large
number users' roaming profile pathes.
More information about dsmod command can be found in the following article.
