User Profile Migration

Example Migration Configuration Files
You can control a migration by editing seings in a migration conguration le.
Example: Migrating V2 Profiles from a Remote Profile Path
The following example le converts all remote V2 proles that reside under the \\file02\share\profiles
folder to V5 proles in the same location.
The migrated V5 proles use the same user names as the V2 proles. A V5 extension is appended to the
users' root folders. All folders except Local Settings are migrated. User registry keys are migrated.
<migconfig version = "0.2">
<!-- specify the source V2 profiles to be migrated -->
<source>
<!-- specify the location of user profiles to be migrated -->
<profilepath>\\file02\share\profiles\*.v2</profilepath>
<!-- specify a V2-to-V5 profile migration -->
<migv2tov5>true</migv2tov5>
</source>
<!-- specify the target destination of converted V5 profiles -->
<target>
<profilepath>\\file02\share\profiles</profilepath>
</target>
</migconfig>
Example: Migrating V1 Profiles from a Remote Profile Path
The following example le converts all remote V1 proles that reside under the \\file01\profiles folder to
V2 proles in the same location.
The migrated V2 proles use the same user names as the V1 proles. A .V2 extension is appended to the
users' root folders. All folders except Local Settings are migrated. User registry keys are migrated.
<migconfig version = "0.2">
<!-- specify the source V1 profiles to be migrated -->
<source>
<!-- specify the location of user profiles to be migrated -->
<profilepath>\\file01\profiles\*</profilepath>
</source>
<!-- specify the target destination of converted V2 profiles -->
<target>
<profilepath>\\file01\profiles</profilepath>
</target>
</migconfig>
Example: Migrating from a User's Local V1 Profile
The following example le converts a local V1 prole for the user ts115. The utility migrates the local prole
on the machine devvm-winxp to a remote V2 prole under the \\file01\profiles folder.
