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. - - |
