The following example specifies the Console and System keys:
<includekeys>Console, System</includekeys>
Registry Keys to Exclude
Use the excluded_registry_keys setting to list registry keys to exclude from the migration. You can
exclude keys that are included by default, keys that reside within the included_registry_keys list, and
subkeys of top-level keys.
Format this setting as a comma-separated list. To specify registry keys, use the key identifiers shown in
Registry Keys to Include.
Example Migration Configuration Files
You can control a migration by editing settings in a migration configuration file.
Example: Migrating V2 Profiles from a Remote Profile Path
The following example file converts all remote V2 profiles that reside under
the \\file02\share\profiles folder to V5 profiles in the same location.
The migrated V5 profiles use the same user names as the V2 profiles. 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>
