Update Home Share and Profile Path in Active Directory

The server "WIN2K12R2" is a domain controller of the "DomainB.Com" domain. CopyRight2 was previously installed on this system.

There are some user accounts having the old server name "WIN2K8R2" being referenced in their user home share, profile and remote desktop profile paths, that need to get updated with the corresponding server name "WIN2K12R2".

If newer Windows versions were used, or if running it on the source or a 3rd computer, the same settings could be used.

Scripting
Transform users:
Destination("TerminalServicesProfilePath")=Replace(Source("TerminalServicesProfilePath"), "WIN2K8R2", "WIN2K12R2", 1, -1, vbTextCompare) Destination("TerminalServicesHomeDirectory")=Replace(Source("TerminalServicesHomeDirectory"), "WIN2K8R2", "WIN2K12R2", 1, -1, vbTextCompare)

Alternatively, if you don't want to use the Replace function, you could use something like this: Destination("TerminalServicesProfilePath")="\\WIN2K12R2\PROFILE$\" & Source("samAccountName")
Destination("TerminalServicesHomeDirectory")="\\WIN2K12R2\HOME$\" & Source("samAccountName")

In this example, the remote desktop attributes are updated using a script to transform the user accounts. You could apply the same technique for any other Active Directory attributes and object class, such as groups or contacts.
