Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

by Dan Matthews 26. July 2007 08:27

So I've just had the domain of my dev PC changed, and at first glance I thought that everything on my profile had come across nicely via MS's lovely transfer wizard (not roaming). My desktop was there, my backdrop was there... lovely. But then I noticed the little irritating things that hadn't come across, such as:

  • Start Menu
  • Quick Launch
  • Lanugage Bar settings
  • Email signatures

Thankfully most of them can be re-done pretty quickly (for example, just copy your Signatures folder from the Microsoft\Signatures folder in your Documents and Settings profile to your new profile) but it is a waste of time. Imagine what it would be like moving a whole office across domains, especially if the office aren't that IT literate. An hour assisting each person would quickly rack up to weeks of work.

If anyone knows of a better 3rd party tool to move profiles across when domains change, do let me know! :)
