RE: Migrating Profile

Thank You for Your Post...
The user profile was not there. On C:\ my computer\documents and
settings\user.xxxxxxxx (domain name) I see the user I want to migrate the
profile. When I follow your instructions for manually migrating the user is
not listed. I have an unknown acount listed that is 2.52 .GB the user I want
to migrate is 2.6GB. When I go into user profiles on the local computer it is
listed as account unknown type local status local modified on 10/10 and it
will not give me a copy option. copy is greyed out.

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that the local user profile
name does not list when you try to migrate local user profile to domain
user profile by running connectcomputer wizard. If I have misunderstood the
problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

1. When you run connectcomputer wizard to join the client computer to SBS
domain, you need to logon as local administrator account. Meanwhile, please
do not logon the local user account which you want to migrate.

2. Let's verify the steps about user profile migration when run
connectcomputer wizard:

a. Delete the old domain account and computer account for this client
computer from SBS. Delete user account from Server Management -> Standard
Management -> Users, delete computer account from Server Management ->
Standard Management -> Client Computers

b. Run Add User wizard on SBS to create new user account and computer
account for the client computer. From Server Management -> Standard
Management -> Users ->Add a User link.

c. Log on the client computer with local administrator, access
http//<Server name>/connectcomputer to bring up the Setup Computer Wizard,
it will then allow you to map domain user accounts to local profiles on the
machine thus preserving your profiles: "Assign Users to this Computes and
Migrate their Profiles".

d. You will Add a domain account to "Users assigned to this computer", and
then choose the existing local user profile in the "Current User Settings".
By Default, the value for "Current User Settings" is "None".

3. If the local user profile still does not list, we can try to manually
migrate the user profile on XP.

a. Finish the connectcomputer wizard to join XP to SBS domain. Logon the
domain user account once to create new user profile on client computer.
Then, logoff domain account and logon local administrator.

b. Right-click My Computer , and then click Properties .
c. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under User Profiles pane, click the
local profile that contains the settings you want, and then click Copy To .

NOTE : The profile usually contains the name of the computer and the name
of the user account.

d. In the Copy profile to box, click Browse , and then browse to the
folder that contains the domain user profiles. The default folder for
profiles is C:\Documents and Settings.
e. Click the domain accounts folder, which by default has the Netbios name
of the domain appended to the username.
f. Click OK .
g. Click Change , add the appropriate permissions to the domain user
account so that it can use the profile, and then click OK until you return
to the desktop.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. Does this issue happen on all client computers?

2. Try to create a new local user account on the client computer, and logon
this account once. Then, run connectcomputer wizard. Does the new user
account appear in the list?

3. Please capture screenshots on the wrong list and send the pictures to me
at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Good Morning,
| When I go to join a computer to the SBS 2K3 domain the user profile that

| Thanks
