| Hi –
I have been playing around with a product called User Profile
Wizard (from ForensiT). UPW shares (i.e., adjusts permissions on files and reg
entries) an existing non-domain user profile with a domain account. In the
past, I have usually forced users to create a new profile when they get a
domain account. It does not rename the profile or change the path under
Documents and Settings.
Has anyone used this product or similar? The lack of a
profile name that corresponds to a user name seems like it might cause problems
down the road with scripts that use %username%, etc.
Many thanks.

| Are you saying it lets you use the standard user profile with a
new domain account? If so no idea about that. There’s a resource kit utility
called moveuser.exe that will copy all their crap into the new profile.
Thanks,

| Hey we like that crap :-)
In SBSland we call that our ConnectComputer wizard :-)
http://domain/connectcomputer
It uses the moveuser.exe bits from MS to move the non domain to a
domain. (2k3 res kit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en)
The tricks we use is when we want to go from domain profile to domain
profile. We have a few up our sleeve for that one. (Move a person's
icons on their desktop and MAN do they get hot and bothered down here)
(BTW in Vista it's been replaced - thus SBS needs a "update" called
Ripcurl to do the same on Vista
Moveuser.exe is incompatible with Windows Vista and is replaced by the
new Win32_UserProfile WMI functionality:

it copies the whole profile over and fixes the ACLs - that's it. If outlook has a hardcoded path in place that would likley break.

| Nme,
User profile folder doesn’t have to have same name as user
name so I don’t see any problems here as long as profile is correctly linked
to user in registry.
As for %username%, scripts shouldn’t assume user’s
profile to be under c:\documents and settings\%username% and should use %userprofile%
variable instead.

Hi all. Please excuse this test. I just joined and tried to post
but I didn’t get my message, so I am assuming that none of you did either. This
could be a false assumption. Please could someone write back and say hi if you
get this email?
I have just joined, have been administering Windows for over ten
years now. I hope I can help y’all and get help!
Cheers,

Nme,
User profile folder doesn’t have to have same name as user name
so I don’t see any problems here as long as profile is correctly linked to user
in registry.
As for %username%, scripts shouldn’t assume user’s profile to be
under c:\documents and settings\%username% and should use %userprofile%
variable instead.

Subject: [ActiveDir] [Slight OT] User Profile Wizard Question
Hi
–
I
have been playing around with a product called User Profile Wizard (from
ForensiT). UPW shares (i.e., adjusts permissions on files and reg entries) an
existing non-domain user profile with a domain account. In the past, I have
usually forced users to create a new profile when they get a domain account. It
does not rename the profile or change the path under Documents and Settings.
Has
anyone used this product or similar? The lack of a profile name that
corresponds to a user name seems like it might cause problems down the road
with scripts that use %username%, etc.
Many
thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I had forgotten about
moveuser. Does it make correct paths for things like PST files (yes, I hate
them too).

Hey we like that crap :-)
In SBSland we call that our ConnectComputer wizard :-) http://domain/connectcomputer
It uses the moveuser.exe bits from MS to move the non domain to a domain. (2k3
res kit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en)
The tricks we use is when we want to go from domain profile to domain
profile. We have a few up our sleeve for that one. (Move a person's
icons on their desktop and MAN do they get hot and bothered down here)
(BTW in Vista it's been replaced - thus SBS needs a "update" called
Ripcurl to do the same on Vista
Moveuser.exe is incompatible with Windows Vista and is replaced by the new
Win32_UserProfile WMI functionality:

Are you saying it lets you use the standard user profile with
a new domain account? If so no idea about that. There’s a resource kit
utility called moveuser.exe that will copy all their crap into the new profile.
