Join Domain Keep User Profile

To enroll you also need a domain join configuration profile.

Join domain keep user profile. I was going to try your basic suggestion by first creating a temp profile before re joining to the domain but still didn t have the copy option for the right profile. Domain name usually this domain profile folder is suffixed by a period and the domain name for example. This week i joined my windows 7 laptop to my windows sbs 2011 domain.

When devices are provisioning and typically offline this profile deploys the ad domain details so devices know which on premises domain to join. A domain join configuration profile includes on premises active directory domain information. Here what you have to do is to add domain user account and assign full control permissions on the folder.

So when domain user logs in will find the same settings he she had when logged in with local user. Done the local profile is now the domain profile. Systemdrive documents and settings domain profile folder.

The machines that were in the old domain now show a message that the user should enter its current credentials. I have been using a local user simon but also have a domain user simon so quite naturally i wanted to join them together in some way so that all the stuff and settings i had built up with the local user would be available to the domain user. I want to migrate the pcs to the new domain but since the domain name is the same i would like to keep the user s profile is this possible.

But being that this is windows 7 i figured i would play it safe. You can probably substitute all of the reboots except the one after joining the domain which is required with log offs that worked in windows 2000 and xp. The tool should be run on computer where the profile to be migrated is stored.

Hello rod answering to first post with forensit tool you can migrate the local user profile to the domain user because it changes the sid only. Next step is to replace permissions on child objects of local profile folder and commit the changes. Your beloved profile should load as usual.
