Migrating Novell User Profiles

We are looking into the feasibility of using Mirage to do upgrades and migrations. One snag we have hit is that we currently utilize a Novell login, which creates a dynamic local user profile and USMT cannot migrate the user's profile to a new image on an AD domain joined system. Has anyone accomplished anything similar with Mirage?

  • It is Possible to Migrate Local User Profile to Roaming Profile Using USMT?

    Dear All,
    1st, I'm following guide at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142682 to copy user profiles to another user, but the problem is the 'Copy to' button is not active (grey). I try
    using 3rd party tools, still no change.
    2nd, I try to transfer local profile on the same machine and different user using Windows Easy Transfer, it's work and all of data has been restore to a new user. But not all App Settings is restored, when I open Outlook 2010 and Windows
    Live Mail, there's need to enter password again. That is not problem for me.
    3rd, After migrate/transfer (2nd step) I want to migrate from local profile to roaming profile, but user profile setting on local profile is not copied to roaming profile, such as Email setting need to create new account but all data is
    not problem, because I have already configure on ADUC and GPMC.
    My question is:
    1. How to copy or move all Application settings on AppData Local folder to roaming profile?
    2. How about USMT, it is possible to migrate user profile settings from local to roaming? if is the best tools, how to do this? 
    Please, advice...
    Thanks,
    Hendra

    First, I dont understand why you're using the copy profile method. I'll make the assumption that you have a domain user account that you you need it's files and settings moving to another machine.
    In that scenario then there's a simple guide here:
    Migrate User Accounts
    For Roaming Profiles and Redirected folders; you can follow the
    Infrastructure Planning and Design (IPD) Guide for Windows User State Virtualization (USV).
    It sounds like a mouthfull but it actually makes the whole process easy. There's also a video
    here.

  • I need help migrating domain user profiles in a refresh scenario using hardlinks.

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a TS that will capture all of the domain users and their settings from a machine. Then refresh it with a new O/S and restore the data.
    I don't want to use a state migration point and I would prefer to save the data to the machine.
    I am using a MDT TS with the standard TS steps.
    There are two sections to USMT.
    Online USMT
    Offline USMT
    I have set the Online USMT to capture locally by using hardlinks instead of copying files. But I read that this doesn't work unless you set the
    OSDStateStorePath variable to a value. In my example I would need that to be a local folder on the machine. Does the folder have to exist on the machine?
    There is also a condition that has been set on the Restore User State step.
    OSDStateStorePath exists
    If any of the conditions are true
    Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT exists
    Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT3 exists
    I would like to get this working.
    Thanks

  • How to - user profile migration 6.0 -- 6.0

    How to - user profile migration 6.0 --> 6.0
    We have an existing 6.0 portal deployed to a fairly large number of users internal to our company. We have been activly developing for our next release which includes tabs and a few new custom providers and channels. The question is what is the best/proper way to migrate the users profiles from one machine to another?
    The version upgrade will be taking place on a different machine than our existing portal deployment.
    So:
    v1.0 on machine A user customizations --> v1.1 on machine B
    Can we just perform an ldiff export on machine A then import that into machine B, then deploy our changes?

    IMO there is just one way that works:
    - first step: look for running forms services (forms server or more), stop them
    - second step: go to the registry, erase the whole key: hkey_local_machine/software/oracle
    -delete the whole directory with forms.
    Its brute force, I know; but it works within 5 minutes!!

  • Is it possible to migrate local profiles to user profile disks?

    Hi guys, 
    Is there an easy way to migrate local user profiles on an remote desktop server to user profile disks? I am replacing a Server 2008 R2 and want to start using UPD's instead on a Server 2012 R2. 
    Best regards,
    Hasan

    Hi Hasan,
    Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As per my research, you can able to achieve your data by choosing the option “Store all user settings and data in the user profile disk” would obviously capture everything normally stored under C:\users\<username>
    and add that to the UPD. But please notice however that you can only select the roaming part of your user profile data.
    On UPD profile is stored in a .VHDX file specific to your account which is placed on a central share. Upon logon a mount path is created under
    C:\Users\<username> that points to that .VHDX file on the share. This makes the solution fully transparent to the Operating System and applications. If you’ve used UPD before you will have noticed that the filenames of the .VHDX files hold the
    users SID, not the account name.
    For more information, please refer below articles. (You can refer below article for Server 2012 R2)

  • How to merge User Profile Service Applications

    We have a SP 2010 farm with UPSA and some the users have edited their profile properties in that. We have planned to move the web application from SP 2010 farm to SP 2013 farm which already has a user profile service application in it.
    Both the SP2010 and SP2013 farms are using same AD.
    What we need after upgrading to SP 2013,
    1. The edited user profile properties should be updated in the SP 2013 farm
    2. SP 2013 farm should have only one UPSA.
    Please help to migrate the UPSA from SP 2010 and merge with the existing 2013 UPSA.
    Thanks
    Ramkumar

    Hi Ramkumar,
    Per my knowledge, we cannot merge the two user profile service application.
    If you need the custom user properties in your User profile service application in SharePoint 2013, I recommend to create a mapping to export the user properties to AD from SharePoint 2010 user profile service application and then create a mapping to import
    the user properties to user profile service application in SharePoint 2013.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tehnoonr/archive/2010/11/22/mapping-user-profile-properties-in-sharepoint-2010-to-ldap-attributes.aspx
    Or you just need to migrate the User Profile service application from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and use this instead of the existing User Profile service application in SharePoint 2013.

  • Use old domain controller AD user profile with new domain (profile changed)

    Dear All,
    I have built Win Server 2012 for Domain migration from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012. I have tested all thing on VMware including user creation and tested Domain join using power shell for Win 7 and .VBs batch file for Win XP computers all thing
    are working fine.
    Let 1st I introduce my current environment. I have existing Win Server 2003 domain controller (abc.com) with 130 client computers and 200 users I am going to plan migrate my current environment to Win server 2012 Domain (xyz.com) Keep in mind that Domain
    name is changed but Domain Controller (Server) names are same i.e MY-PDC . I have tested domain join on multiple computers using existing clone of client computers and create all existing users using .csv file and power shell with required
    credentials and OU.I am facing the user profile issue when I join domain and login with existing user which was previously the user of same computer the required profile does not login and computer creates new user profile in Document and Settings section
    of Win XP.
    I need your expert opinions because copy old profile data and create new outlook profile for each user is a big headache for any one. Hope you people can understand and help me in this issue.
    Please provide best answer and result on priority I will be thankful to all of you.

  • Moving User Profiles between Domains

    I have a Windows 8.1 Enterprise joined to a Domain and I need to change it to a new domain. 
    I have a program called "Profwiz" that allowed me to move user profile from one user domain account to the new user domain account on Windows 7 machines.  It made the whole move easier.
    Is there a solution to accomplish the same function with Windows 8 Units.
    Help would be appreciated.

    Hi Wayne,
    To migrate the User Profile, you may consider one of the two tools:
    USMT or ADMT.
    For USMT, see:

    For ADMT, please check:

  • RDS 2012R2 / User-Profile-Disk

    Hello,
    We are having some troubles with the user-profile-disks (outlook indexer)
    is there a way to migrate from user-profile-disks back to normal user-profiles without DataLoss?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    I am afraid that there is no direct way to migrate back User Profile Disk to normal user profile. But we can recover the related data from UPD manually to User Profile.
    Thanks for your understanding and Support!

  • User Profiles are the wrong style after importing/migrating site collections from other SharePoint versions

    I manage a couple of different version of SharePoint, which we are in the process of migrating to SharePoint 2013. I have a problem which I am not sure how to resolve. We are using MetaLogix to migrate site and site collection data from an older SharePoint
    2007/WSS3.0 server environment into our new SharePoint 2013 environment and we are having a problem with user profiles that get created.
    I have SharePoint 2013 set up for "SharePoint Profile Synchronization" and some of our user's profiles are being created in an older format that shows the user's claims account information, rather than the more fancy profile type that allows us
    to include pictures and click on "follow this person" links. 
    If we manually delete the profile, it will be recreated properly however, as we are migrating many sites and collections over, it is near impossible to do this and keep track of each user so that their profiles can be deleted and recreated.
    Is there some way to change this behavior so that SharePoint will only create the newer style of user profile?

    These 'profiles' are you looking at them in the User Profile Service Application itself or are you looking at site collections? There is a huge difference between the two but people often miss it.
    In most cases you'll have some partial information on the Site Collections but when you click through to their actual profile (not just their User Information List entry) you'll see the prettier version. That information is normally internally synchronised
    by a timer job but that may not have run yet and/or the fact that your users haven't actually used the site may be causing it not to update them (it's an efficiency matter).
    Finally: Drop your sales guy at Metalogix an email, they will bounce it to one of their techies and they'll have seen it a million times.

  • I used the migration assistant to transfer files from my PC to my Mac but it recreated my user profile from the PC and I wanted to transfer the files to the new different user profile I've setup on the Mac. How can I transfer everything now?

    I have an older Windows laptop and I am switching to a new MacBook Air. The main user on the Windows laptop is going to be different than the main user on the MacBook. I used the migration assistant to transfer data to the MacBook but it recreated the whole older profile on the new Mac when I just wanted to pull everything over into the new user profile I had already created on the new MacBook. How can I go about putting the data over into the new user profile and erasing the older other user profile it recreated? Would I erase the old user profile on the new Mac and start over with the migration assistant using some setting I missed that lets me pull the data over to the new main user on the MacBook? Or is there a way to rename the old user profile on the Mac to match what I want the new username/password to be somehow?
    Or would it be best to back the data I really need from the old PC onto an external HD and then copy it over to the new Mac from the external HD?
    Looking for advice on how to best go about this. On the old PC I had multiple profiles and it was awkward. On the new Mac I just want a single profile for the primary user and both users will just share the same user profile. I wasn't sure if the Migration Assistant only let you recreate entire profiles or if there was a way to just import data from the old PC's primary profile into the new Mac's new primary profile with some setting adjustment.
    Data would be docs, pics, bookmarks, music. Fairly basic.
    Thanks for any and all advice,
    -Crosscourier.

    Look in the /Users/ folder.

  • User profiles deleted with migration assistant

    I just bought my daughter a new MacBook Air to replace her 3 year old MacBook Pro.  When she tried using Migration Assistant to transfer her files, it totally wiped out her user profiles so she couldn't log into the MacBoook Air any longer and she had to reset her MacBook Air completely.  After resetting her MacBook Air and starting from scratch, she tried using MA again, but this time none of the new files showed up anywhere.  What gives?  Why is this not working.  The two laptops are linked via a single ethernet cable.

  • Migrate User Profile Disks to new File Server

    I'm looking for some guidance/best practice/advice on moving my user profile disk share. My goal is simple enough, we have a share with UPDs on a stand-alone file server. I'm in the process of configuring a scale-out file server and would like to migrate
    my UPD share to that cluster once it is running smoothly. I'm running a 2012 R2 RDS farm. Is the process as simple as changing the UNC path in Server Manager and migrating the data? If so, should I copy the data then change the UNC path or the other way around?
    On a related note, is there any problems of hosting the UPD share on DFS? I'm not necessarily looking to replicate the share, but it would ease a similar migration in the future if necessary as I could replicate it or use the DFS migration toolkit without
    needing to alter the UNC path in the farm as the client facing path wouldn't change. Just an idea I'm toying with and would love some feedback.

    I would think in a simple/flat scenario, you change the UNC path and the wizard will automatically setup the share on the target folder with the correct root permissions
    then you can do a robocopy.exe /mir to move the individual UPDs over while retaining their unique permissions for each user
    regarding scale out file server, you actually can't use SoFS for just a general file share workload and SoFS + DFS combination also has limited capabilities
    for now, SoFS is only compatible with clustered Hyper-V, IIS, VMM and SQL workloads
    you can use the old fashion clustered file server role with SMB 3.0 for the UPDs however, as 2012 now allows for proper clustered share aliases that allows you to natively use a virtual name under a clustered file share option which works nicely in your
    case
    setting up DFS with the above scenario seems to be supported although I haven't done it before

  • Cannot Acces My Safe After Migrating User Profile

    Hello Everyone, greets from Australia
    I have a user who migrated their windows user profile to our domain profile using the small business server 2003 connect computer wizard. This wizard did not migrate the users fingerprints or My Safe contents.
    After logging onto the old account and attempting to access My Safe with the backup password, the user could not open it.
    Is there some way for the user to access the contents in the MYy Safe folder as these documents are extremely important. (Caught the user out for not backing up ;) )

    Hmmm maybe its not possible to access the MySafe because the notebook is a part of the domain.
    I suppose the notebook was a not included in the domain when the user has used and saved the files in My Safe.
    So maybe you could try to reverse the settings and then you could try to enter the MySafe folder.

  • Migration Assistant showing 0.0kb User Profiles

    Hi all,
    My iMac hard drive recently died, but I have been backing it up to Time Machine to a backup disk, so I'm trying to migrate my user account to my friend's MacBook. However, Migration Assistant keeps displaying these user profiles as having 0.0kb. Why is this? It seems to just hang when I attempt to migrate data. Also, how would I go about migrating just the settings and permissions of the profile, and keeping the rest of the data on the drive?
    Thank you for any help
