RE: Migrating Profile

Hello Customer,

Thank you for update.

From your description, the Copy To button grey out, please ensure the
following:

1. When you logon the client computer with one user account, the Copy To
button will be grey out when you select this user account.

2. The user profile is corrupted.

Therefore, I suggest you that:

1. Ensure you logon the computer with local administrator account.

2. Logon this account which profile you want to migrate to the computer, to
ensure the profile is correct. Then, run the manually migrate again.

If the user profile still does not list in the user profiles window, we
need to copy and overwrite the profile manually:

Copy the user profile and past on the folder that contains the domain user
profiles, and overwrite all.

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?

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
