Regarding domain migration

Question

Dear all,

I need help with the domain migration. I have just 10 PC and I have created AD. I just need to move all the data from one profile to another. What can be the process?
I literally don't want to purchase any software. I want to do it manually.
Can anyone help me through the process of registry?

Thank you!

Hi there,

There are some free tools that you can use for the migration .

The Active Directory Migration Tool version 3.2 (ADMT v3.2) provides an integrated toolset to facilitate migration and restructuring tasks in an Active Directory Domain Services infrastructure.

Answer 2

Logon once as the new domain user so the new profile gets created, then logon as another user with local admin rights, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

find the new domain profile and point the expand string ProfileImagePath to the old profile.
