I have several users I need
to migrate to new
computers. Should I use
Windows Easy Transfer for
all of them?
Windows Easy Transfer is
an ideal tool if you have
only a few users that you
need to migrate to
Windows Vista, such as in
a home or a small office or
home office (SOHO)
environment. If you are
using Active Directory,
there may be easier ways
to migrate users. See
Chapter 10 for information
on working with Active
Directory.
Why do I get a Security
Alert when I try to run the
Windows Easy Transfer
Wizard?
Windows Vista includes a
Security Console that
detects unauthorized
attempts to access your
computer or its files from
across the network. You
can temporarily bypass the
system security to allow
Windows Easy Transfer to
complete the transfer
process. After your files and
settings are transferred,
Windows reapplies the
system security on your
computer.
Why did my game, or
other application, not
migrate over?
Most Windows
applications modify the
Registry in ways not
detected by the wizard.
Your best bet is to capture
any saved game files — or
other data files — reinstall
the application, and then
migrate the files to your
new system.
