Migrating existing Roaming Profiles to FSLogix

Question

Does anybody know what of the best way to migrate existing roaming profiles to FSLogix? Is there a method I can use to convert the roaming profiles (currently on a file sever) to VHDX? Or do I just have to go down the route of new profiles in the FSLogix containers - thanks

Answer 1

There is a command line tool I've not used it but info is here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/command-line-utility-reference

It's called copyto-vhd

Answer 2

Using the non-supported tool from Microsoft will give you headaches. The ACLICL part of the file does not work all the time.

Change :

Main Functions\Convert-RoamingProfile.ps1

It's NOT perfect, but it solved the issue for me

                        try {
                            $UserID = $env:userdomain + "\" + ($P).Username
                            $ownerObj = New-Object System.Security.Principal.Ntaccount($UserID)
                            $AccessRules = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule

                            $Permissions = "system:fullControl,Administrators:FullControl," + $UserID + ":FullControl"
                            ForEach ($Perm in $Permissions.Split(","))
                            {	$Group = $Perm.Split(":")[0]
	                            $Level = $Perm.Split(":")[1]
	                            $AccessRules += New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($Group,$Level, "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
                            }

                            $acl = get.acl ($Destination)
                            $acl.setowner($ownerObj)
                            $acl | setAcl ($acl) 
                            Write-Log "Permissions "
                            Write-Log $acl

                            $AccessRules | set-Acl $Destination
                        }
