On your NT4 Domain Controller, right click on 'My Computer', then +select the tab labelled 'User Profiles'. + +2. Select a user profile you want to migrate and click on it. + +Note: I am using the term "migrate" lossely. You can copy a profile to +create a group profile. You can give the user 'Everyone' rights to the +profile you copy this to. That is what you need to do, since your samba +domain is not a member of a trust relationship with your NT4 PDC. + +3. Click the 'Copy To' button. + +4. In the box labelled 'Copy Profile to' add your new path, eg: +c:\temp\foobar + +5. Click on the button labelled 'Change' in the "Permitted to use" box. + +6. Click on the group 'Everyone' and then click OK. This closes the +'chose user' box. + +7. Now click OK. + +Follow the above for every profile you need to migrate. + + +Side bar Notes: +--------------- +You should obtain the SID of your NT4 domain. You can use smbpasswd to do +this. Read the man page. + +With Samba-3.0.0 alpha code you can import all you NT4 domain accounts +using the net samsync method. This way you can retain your profile +settings as well as all your users. + +Also Note: +---------- +The above method can be used to create mandatory profiles also. To convert +a group profile into a mandatory profile simply locate the NTUser.DAT file +in the copied profile and rename it to NTUser.MAN. + + +Next Note: +---------- +The W2K professional resource kit has moveuser.exe: + +Description: + + moveuser.exe changes the security of a profile from one user to another. + This allows the account domain to change, and/or the user name to change. + + +Next Note: +---------- +You can identify the SID by using GetSID.exe from the Windows NT Server 4.0 +Resource Kit. + +Windows NT 4.0 stores the local profile information in the registry under +the following key: +HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList + +Under the ProfileList key, there will be subkeys named with the SIDs of the +users who have logged on to this computer. (To find the profile information +for the user whose locally cached profile you want to move, find the SID for +the user with the GetSID.exe utility.) Inside of the appropriate user's +subkey, you will see a string value named ProfileImagePath. + + |
