note

========================================================================
       CONSOLE APPLICATION : remoteprof
========================================================================

This program performs remote profile translation.

Usage: remoteprof [/test:<>] [/profile:<>] [/mode:<>] /file:<userlist>
Migrates roaming profiles for a set of users. Updates security
permissions and user information. However, it will not migrate
profiles to a different location

Options:
  test: [YES | NO]       : Test only (no changes) [default YES]
  profile: [SAME | OVER] :
        SAME: Perform translation only if profile paths are the same
        OVER: Overwrite target profile path if different from source
          *note: migrated profiles must use same profile path

  mode: [ADD |REPLACE |REMOVE] : [default ADD]
        ADD:     Add mode: add tgt User sid to security list
        REPLACE: Replace mode: replace src user sid with tgt sid
        REMOVE:  Remove mode:  remove src user sid from security list


remoteprof generates a log file remoteprof.log during its processing.

eg: remoteprof /test:no /profile:over /mode:add /file:"C:\mylist.txt"

=================== user list ====================================
userlist is a tab delimited file with each line representing a src->dest
translation.

srcDom\srcUser tgtDom\tgtUser

  4. Close the Show Table window.

  6. Paste the following text into the Select Query window:
    SELECT MigratedObjects.SourceDomain+'\'+MigratedObjects.SourceSamName as src, MigratedObjects.TargetDomain+'\'+MigratedObjects.TargetSamName as tgt FROM MigratedObjects;
  7. Save the query, and then double click it to run it.
  8. Export the results:
    1. Go to File/Export.
    2. Type in a file name and select Text files as the file type.
    3. Click the Export all.
    4. Select Delimited and click Next.
