- Domain User on local machine
- Posted by MichaelL on March 26th, 2006
One royal pain in moving from peer to peer network to active directory domain
is handling the user accounts on the existing local machine. Are there any
automated tools to do the following:
1. Give the domain user account administrator privledge on the local machine.
2. Copy existing local user profile to the newly created domain user
profile on the local machine.
If there are no tools. What's the best way to handle these chores?
Thanks,
Michael

1) Don't. They don't need it and will likely scrfew things up - giving you
more work. But - you can just add their domain username (or better yet -
domain group) to the local adminstrators group.)
2) USMT or FAST wizard.

What does USMT and FAST stand for? I'm not familiar with the acronyms.
Thanks,

USMT = User State Migration Tool
FAST = File and Settings Transfer (wizard)

Are you suggesting there is no need to add the domain account as a local
administrator. If you don't will the user still be able to install software
on the machine? Will all installed apps continue to run correctly?
Thanks,
Michael
