Re: Workstation Migration

Hello Jason,

Thank you for your suggestion and advise on my server migration. As you
mentioned I can use ADMT to migrate user profile on workstation. Shall I
install ADMT on each workstation? If I have 100 users in office, I do need
to install 100 times on each workstation.

Compare with "Copy to:" (the function to copy profile to another user) and
ADMT workstation migration, which one work effectively and efficiently?
Because it's not a good choice if I need to install ADMT on each
workstation.

If I use "Copy to", how can the user can keep his/her user access right
locally? Since they are login to Domain Controller w/ Domain User already.
Therefore, how can they still keep the administrative right on his/her own
workstation w/ full control?

With many thanks!!

Wilson
