Windows® User Profile Migration

Learn more about how to migrate computers including local user profiles between two domains in different forests without using sidHistory.

Computer and Profile Migration

This video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of migrating Windows® computer domain membership, complete with local user profiles, to a target domain located in a separate forest (inter-forest).

This video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of using the CopyRight2 Computer and Profile Migration feature. It shows how to migrate Windows® computer domain membership, complete with local user profiles, to a target domain located in a separate forest (inter-forest).

It is assumed the user account itself has already been migrated using a User and Group Migration job. You can find more information about Active Directory User and Group Migrations in this video: Active Directory Domain Migration.

If you should be interested in the migration of profiles located on a RDP server or of roaming profiles stored on a file server, please watch this video instead: User Environment Migration.

Environment

The source is running a Windows® 2016 and the target a Windows® 2022 domain, which trusts the source domain. The client in this example is running Windows® 10 but the show-cased feature is compatible with Windows® 7 up to Windows® 11.
