Domain Join and User Profile Migration

Question

We are working on a domain join project for a client. My question is in regard to setting up the new user profiles on the domain. The client is a machine shop and their computers run very specific software to operate the machining equipment. Currently, everyone logs onto the computers using a generic, shared "User" account. They don't really keep much personal stuff on the computers so they didn't have a need for individual local accounts. They just need to log in as the generic "user" to be able to operate the equipment. The settings and configurations that are set for the equipment software is very important. Here is my question. On the domain everyone is going to have their own user profiles. How do I migrate the settings and data from the local shared "user" profile to each employee's new domain profile. I can easily transfer one profile to another but I feel like I need to replicate one local profile to multiple new domain profiles. Is there something I'm not thinking of here? I hope someone out there can help me make sense of this and offer some guidance.

Thanks

Ben

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for posting.

Trying to understand the question here. can you please confirm:

• Are you planning to migrate the user profile form current AD domain to Azure ADDS ? or its between two different AD domain. Because you tagged Azure ADDS which is a different azure service offering.
• Basically you trying to copy the generic shared profile to multiple user profile in new domain ?
