The following example migrates the V2 profile for the user ts115 on the computer devvm-win7 to the remote
path \\file02\share\profiles. The utility takes ownership of the user profiles during the migration:
migprofile.exe /s:\\devvm-win7\c$\Users\ts115.v2
/t:\\file02\share\profiles\ /v2 /takeownership
Migration Configuration File
You can specify a migration configuration file as a command-line option with the profile migration
command. In the configuration file, you can specify settings such as the source and target profile locations,
which are passed to the profile migration utility at runtime.
The migration configuration file is optional. You can override settings that you specify in the configuration
file by typing the corresponding command-line options.
Migration Configuration File Format
The migration configuration file is in XML format, which makes the file easy to read, edit, and extend. For
definitions of the settings, see “Migration Configuration File Settings,” on page 12.
You can perform either a V1-to-V2 migration or a V2-to-V5 migration. You cannot perform both migration
paths in the same configuration file.
You specify whether to migrate V1 profiles to V2 or V2 profiles to V5 in the source tag. Use only one source
tag in the configuration file.
<migconfig takeownership="takeownership_value">
<!-- specify the source V1 profiles to be migrated -->
<source>
<!-- specify the location of user profiles to be migrated -->
<profilepath>source_profile_path</profilepath>

<!-- OR -->
<!-- specify the source V2 profiles to be migrated -->
