How to Retain User Settings When Converting from a Local Account to an AD Account?

Question

Hi there,

I would like to know if we can retain the same settings and configuration of the account profile when converting from a local account to an AD account. Is there any migration tool available for this conversion?

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to retain the same settings and configuration of the account profile when converting from a local account to an AD account. You can use the User State Migration Tool (USMT) to migrate user profiles from a local account to an AD account. USMT is a free tool provided by Microsoft that allows you to migrate user data and settings from one computer to another. You can download USMT from the Microsoft website.

More details you can refer to these links:
