User Profile Migration

Example: Migrating V1 Profiles from a Remote Profile Path
The following example file converts all remote V1 profiles that reside under the \\file01\profiles
folder to V2 profiles in the same location.
The migrated V2 profiles use the same user names as the V1 profiles. 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 file converts a local V1 profile for the user ts115. The utility migrates the local
profile on the machine devvm-winxp to a remote V2 profile under the \\file01\profiles folder.
Only files from the My Documents, Desktop, and Start Menu profile folders are migrated. The user's
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>\\devvm-winxp\c$\documents and settings\ts115</profilepath>
</source>
<!-- specify the target destination of converted V2 profiles -->
<target>
<profilepath>\\file01\profiles</profilepath>
</target>
<!-- specify other profile migration settings -->
<migration>
<!-- migration settings for profile folders and files -->
<profile>
<!-- by default, all top-level profile folders are included -->
<!-- except 'Cache', 'History', and 'Local AppData' -->
