I'm migrating users and machines from a 2k3 forest to another 2k3
forest. Everything is working fairly well (well except for the stuff I
posted about before :) ) but I've got yet another question.

How does the computer migration wizard figure out which user profile to
migrate? I've had cases on a few machines where the migration wizard
picks a profile to migrate that is not the one I want migrated. The
user of the profile NOT migrated was the laster user logged in and in
at least one case specifically made changes to the profile just prior
to logging off. How do I make sure it migrates the profile I want it
to? Even better is there a way to make the wizard migrate all of the
non-default profiles instead of just whatever it "thinks" is primary?

Thanks,

Hi Chirs,

When we migrate user account in AD, ADMT will create a account mapping
database to verify the account in different domain. When you perform
computer migration, ADMT will look up the accounts were recorded in the
mapping database to migrate the local user profile.

Please check:

1. If you run ADMT on the same DC in target domain when you perform user
account migration and computer account migration.
2. If you have migrated the user account before you perform computer
account migration
3. To verify this, please check ADMT log of user account migration and
computer account migration.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Vincent Xu

Exactly right. I did some research on my own and found the info as well
- shoulda searched better before I posted.

What happened is that since I could never get the SIDHistory to work
with the Domain Admins group (still have no idea why not), I thought I
could migrate the users from one station in the target domain (that had
the password migration set up) and the computers from another station
in the source domain (with local admin perms to the desktops).

Alas, my thinking was flawed as you pointed out since the .mdb files
would never be in sync.

Incidentally, you guys have been great. Much more helpful and
responsive than some of the MS "expert" contract help I've had over the
duration of this whole migration project. Keep up the great work!
