Come for the solution, stay for everything else. Welcome to our community! I have been tasked with rolling out several hundred new computers. The computers will all be imaged and will not be joined to the domain until they are physically on the clients desk. The trick is, I need to take some data from their local profile on their current machine, and migrate it to the new workstation. So, I created a script to pull their data, and store it to a server until the new computer is added to the domain, and the user logs on with their Domain Account.
As it stands, an admin still has to logon when the new computer is booted up, so it can be added to the domain, and computer name changed. Open Microsoft Management Console by clicking the Start button , typing mmc into the search box, and then pressing Enter. Click Local Users and Groups , and then click Add. Click Local computer , click Finish , and then click OK. Click the Action menu, and then click New User. Type the appropriate information in the dialog box, and then click Create. Click Manage another account.
Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type, and then click Create Account. After you create the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to complete these steps, including the new account you just created. Log on as a user other than the new user you just created or the user that you want to copy files from.
Open the My Documents folder by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Computer. Double-click the hard disk drive that Windows is installed on it's usually your C: drive , double-click Users, double-click the folder with the name of your account, and then double-click My Documents.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options. If you don't see the Tools menu, press Alt. Click the View tab, and then click Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
Clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, click Yes to confirm, and then click OK. Click the Edit menu, and then click Copy. If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt. Click the Edit menu, and then click Paste. Log off, and then log back on as the new user. If you have e mail messages in an e mail program, you must import your e mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. If everything is working properly, you can delete the old profile.
Windows 10 Windows 8. My computer is on a domain Open Microsoft Management Console by selecting Start , typing mmc into the search box, and then pressing Enter. Select the Users folder. What I am not familiar with is the term "spitting into Google" could you please explain your comment? By the way, if you are suggesting my How To is the result of a Google search, I can tell you that your profile picture is quite accurate.
Also, What you are referring to sounds a whole lot like roaming profiles which in my opinion is a bad idea knowing how much data users keep on their profiles these days. Excellent post! We do this a lot. Backing up and blowing away a users profile is also our first defense strategy when any type of infection or weirdness is encountered. This is one more reason why a good way of customizing the default user profile is so very important!
And no Microsoft, sysprep using the copyprofile parameter is not a good way! With Windows 10, we will suffer yet another blow in the battle with Microsoft in finding a way to setup default profiles. This is our biggest concern with win And Microsft made a big booboo in my opinion to save the installed programs in the users folder You will also have to re-install Windows 10 apps.
Check this link out for the details. Excellent walkthrough. I have an issue where I did this and the user did not use google sync, so I need to go 'back' and retrieve his bookmarks for Chrome. Is this possible? I have the user. It's so easy to miss a step without a good list. Screen shots of the desktop and the printers really helped.
One thing the user complained about was missing his custom tool bars in Excel. I was able to fix that by copying some files from his old profile. I have the strangest issue, after we re-created a profile by deleting the registry key ProfileList and renaming the old folder. The foto app and in general in some cases even den calculator app stop working in the new profile. It just keeps crashing, you open it it closes and i get a error message in the event viewer pointing on a issue with the Windows.
I will also try the next time to delete the ProfileGuid Key and see if this will improve it. Very anying, you need to fix the profile because some App corrupted it and now the Apps dont work. But this is something recent, we did the re-creation in the past without any issues. Could it be some how related to some new security rules?
Can this key be skipped?
