    Hi , We are planning to migrate the workstaion more than 100 from one domain to another domain and User profile should be stored back to orginal state. Note: But the user profile will be new with different name in new domain. How can we restore the old profile to another profile.

    • Hi Srinivasan. User profile migration is not yet supported in our Free System Tools. We are planning to support migration in OS Deployer with User Profile; however, this feature is yet to be released.

    Hi Luu,

    Join/Unjoin Computer tool changes the DNS settings of the computer to New Domain using the admin privileges. It doesn’t create / move user profiles. Hence, you have to login as local admin to move your old profile to new profile.

  4. Hi, I want to use the join/unjoin computer tool to take my computer out of one domain and move it to another. My question is will it move my profile to the new domain or will I get a new one once I login, which means I will have to login as local admin and move my old profile to the new profile?
    Thanks,
    Luu
