ADMT - Local user profile translation not working

[Althor33]

Hello,

I am planning on merging many domains into one.
I am planning using ADMT.
I put up some test machines, with accounts, and so, and so.
Trusts are up between domain A and domain B.
ADMT is configured on source and target domains.

Now in my tests:
user accounts migrate correctly.
computers migrate corectly.
Local user profiles 'seems' to work correctly. That's my problem.

The computer restarts correctly, I am able to login in the target domain BUT, it is a new user profile. I cannot have my previous profile (when my user was in domain A).

(all pre-tests and logs are fine)

Any ideas ?

Thank You in advance.

It's been a while

I think if I reember correctly you need to have a "Worker Account/proces" local on each workstation to change over the users profiles.

Thanx Conan3 for your response....but...

Please pardon my ignorance...
What exactly do you mean by "Worker Account/proces" ?

For example, my test PC has a 'local' account, a domain account, and the ADMT user account. All have logged in at least once...

Where else should I look ?

Thank you again

I think what he means is that there has to be some process that runs on your workstation. This process should be setting all of your ntfs permissions, registry permissions, scheduled jobs, etc. It then would need to enter the new domain logon into your registry as a profile and put in your old profile directory as its home, eg "c:\documents and settigs\yourname\".


If you ever have one that falls out, the major things to do by hand are:

1) Grant full control of the old profile directory to the new domain logon.

2) Grant identical registry permissions to the new domain account.

3) Make sure the new account is in the same group membership on the machine.

4) After the first logon, if you get a new profile, logon locally as an admin and find the new profile in the registry. Change the profile directory form the new directory to the old one, eg "c:\documents and settings\you".

This can get complex, so thats why you want an automated process that does all this for you. This is just a workaround if you get stuck.
