Computer and User Profile Migration

CopyRight2 simplifies computer and user profile migrations across domains. Secure, effective and free to try!

CopyRight2's Computer and Profile Migration feature assists in user profile migration on remote computers. This includes keeping application settings, existing data, shortcuts and personal preferences intact.

The feature supports desktop operating systems from Windows® 7 through Windows® 11, and server operating systems from Windows® Server 2003 through Windows® Server 2022.

It enables seamless migration of domain computer objects to target domains within the same or a different Active Directory forest, automatically updating client computers' domain membership—a practical solution for Windows® profile migrations.

CopyRight2's password migration feature allows users to continue using their current passwords on their desktop after the migration. This makes it easy for users to log in without having to create new passwords. The feature ensures a seamless transition for users during the migration process. Users can maintain their login credentials without any disruption to their workflow.

Our migration tool has a simple interface. It makes it easy to track and control the profile migration process in real-time. Its security-focused implementation leverages Windows® native security features to protect data integrity and avoid delegating sensitive security contexts to endpoints.

Configuration Settings

Source and Target Domain Selection

Domain selection for user profile migration

Choose a domain controller from the source and target domain to perform the remote computer migration.



Computer Selection

Computer selection for user profile remote migration.

Select the specific computer objects from the source domain that are to be remotely migrated to the target domain.



Job Settings

User profile migration settings.

Enable the user profile migration option, including shortcuts and persistent network connections.

Perform string replacement operations in the HKCU registry hive of users based on a predefined replacement list. Migrate local group memberships, service accounts and Windows® NT privileges (sometimes referred to as Rights). If necessary, reset the client's TPM to ensure all settings are properly updated.

Profile Filter

User profile migration filter page.

CopyRight2 offers multiple options for handling profiles that lack an associated account in the target domain.

You can decide not to look at profiles of users who are missing, disabled in the source domain, or inactive for a while. You can also define a list of users or groups to exclude.

Active Directory Options

Active Directory options.

Decide where to create computer objects in the new domain. Determine if you want to migrate the parent OU structure of the selected computers.

Enable the migration of group memberships the source computer object may have. Some third-party software deployment solutions use group memberships of computers to automatically distribute software.

Active Directory Attributes

Active Directory computer attributes.

Define which Active Directory attributes to migrate to the target computer object. Make sure to migrate all related data, especially if a schema extension is in place.

Domain Trust Relationship

Domain trust relation ship definition.

If the target domain trusts the source domain, you don't have to set up security contexts or share credentials between systems.

This is the most secure option. If there is no trust, you can define a context of the target domain to join the target domain.

Advanced Settings

Advanced Computer and Profile Migration Settings.
To rename computers or user accounts with different naming conventions between source and target domains, create a mapping file.

Enable advanced options such as cached credential updates for VPN or WiFi clients. This feature is available as an add-on. It is useful for clients that need extra authentication before logging into Windows®. This is crucial because Windows® clears the cached credential cache after a domain change.

Scripting

Scripting for user profile migration.

You can customize the migration process by using a VBScript or PowerShell script.

These scripts can transform the Active Directory computer object or perform custom tasks when the job starts or ends on the server side.

You can also define scripts to run at the start or end of the client-side job or during profile migration.

Job Tracking

The computer and user profile migration feature doesn't require an external software distribution solution.

The software includes job tracking and validation features. These features allow you to monitor the progress of migrations on each remote endpoint. This is especially useful for large-scale projects.

You can also use the command line interface with an existing deployment solution.

The main advantage of the built-in method is that it avoids delegating privileged security contexts for migrating user accounts to the endpoint.

Status Overview

Remote user profile migration status.

In the status overview, you can monitor the status of computers being migrated by the job.

Access the log file for the process on the remote system.

For more details, switch to the status details view to see the stored user profiles of the selected computer.


Status Details

User profile migration details.

View details about Windows® user profiles stored on remote computers in the detail view.

The system displays profiles that cannot migrate, such as those without user accounts in the new domain.

Cached Credential Update Add-On

Migrating computers connected over VPN can present additional challenges. During a domain membership change, Windows® will clear the locally stored cached credentials because they won't work with the new domain.

If the VPN client does not have logon screen authentication, users need to use the Windows® switch user function to save new cached credentials. This process involves:

  1. Logging on with a local account to open the VPN tunnel.
     
  2. Performing a second logon while the tunnel remains open to cache the new credentials.

Alternatively, they can visit a location with domain controller access.

Similar challenges arise with Wi-Fi networks requiring additional authentication after logging on to Windows®.

The CopyRight2 Cached Credential Add-on resolves these issues by updating cached credentials for the new domain.
