You can do it in a few clicks
Welcome When you start User Profile Wizard the first thing you see is the Welcome page
Click Next to continue
3 M I G R A T I N G U S E R P R O F I L E SSelect a User ProfileThe next step is to select the existing profile that the new user account will use
User Profile Wizard lists the profiles assigned to each user account. You just need toselect the account name of the user whose profile you want to migrate
Disable Local AccountsIf a profile you have selected is currently assigned to a local account, you can tell thewizard to disable the account after the migration is completed by checking the “DisableAccount” checkbox
Delete Local AccountsIf a profile you have selected is currently assigned to a local account, you can tell thewizard to delete the account after the migration is completed by checking the “DeleteAccount” checkbox
Unassigned ProfilesUser Profile Wizard lists the currently assigned profile: that is, the profile that each useris currently using. Note that this is not necessarily the user's original profile
4 M I G R A T I N G U S E R P R O F I L E SFor example, say that Jane leaves your organization and Alice takes over her position. Itis decided that it makes sense to run User Profile Wizard to assign Jane’s profile to Alice
Alice, however, has already logged onto Jane’s machine and already has a profile
What happens to Alice's profile? The answer is nothing. The profile stays on themachine, but it is not used by anyone, it is "unassigned." To list these unassigned profiles,tick the "Show Unassigned Profiles" box. The first time you do this, you will get awarning. This is because profiles sometimes become corrupted so that Windows cannotread them. When this happens Windows creates a new profile for a user. If you look inthe profiles directory, usually “C:\Users”, you will sometimes see profile folders withnames like USER.DOMAIN. These are profiles Windows has created because it cannotread the user's original profile. It is obviously not a good idea to use a corrupted profile,and the User Profile Wizard warns you of the possibility
The User Profile Wizard lists unassigned profiles with the unknown user icon. It willalso list the profiles for user accounts that have been deleted from the machine. In thiscase, the actual user name is not available and you will only see the user account SID(Security Identifier.)The User Profile Wizard will always try to resolve the domain and account associatedwith a particular profile. However, this is not always possible - for example, if a domainis no longer available on the network. In these circumstances you should be able to workout the profile you want to migrate by looking at the profile path
When you're ready, click Next to continue 5 M I G R A T I N G U S E R P R O F I L E SUser Account InformationThis is the page where you enter information about the new user who will be givenaccess to an existing profile
Enter the domainEnter the name of the domain, or Azure AD tenant, of the user account that will begiven access to the existing profile
If the "Enter the domain" box is blank, and you are joining your machine to a newdomain, type the new domain name
You can also choose the local machine name by clicking on the down arrow. This willallow you to migrate a profile to a local user account if you want to
Azure ADTick the Azure AD box if the domain you are joining is an Azure AD tenant
6 M I G R A T I N G U S E R P R O F I L E SJoin DomainIf your machine is not already joined to a domain, or if you enter a new domain name,the "Join Domain" check box is checked by default. Remove the tick if you do not wantthe machine to be joined to the domain
If the machine is already joined to the domain, the "Join Domain" check box is filled in
To force user Profile Wizard to join the machine to the domain again, click the checkbox to enter a tick
The Freeware Edition of User Profile Wizard cannot currently join a device to AzureAD, so the “Join Domain” check box will be greyed out
Join WorkgroupIf you want to unjoin your machine from a domain and add the machine to a workgroupinstead, tick the “Join Workgroup” check box. The “Join Workgroup” check box willonly be enabled if you have selected the local computer name in the "Enter the domain"box, and the machine is already joined to a domain
Enter the account nameIn the "Enter the account name" text box enter the user's new account name. This canbe a plain Windows account name like "JSmith" or an account name in UPN (UserPrinciple Name) format, for example, [email protected]
Default LogonBy default, the Wizard will set the account you specify to be the default logon on themachine. Remove the tick in the "Set as default logon" text box if you do not want thedefault logon to change
Click Next to continue
7 M I G R A T I N G U S E R P R O F I L E SMigrating ProfileAs soon as you click Next, the configuration process begins. User Profile Wizard willupdate the progress window at each stage
If you are joining your machine to a new domain you will be prompted for a usernameand password with the necessary permissions
Save Log…When the migration is complete, the “Save Log…” button will become active, allowingyou to save the output in the progress window. This is useful if there has been an errorwhich you need to investigate
When configuration is complete click Next
8 M I G R A T I N G U S E R P R O F I L E SCongratulations!You're done. If there were any problems, you can click Back and check the progresswindow for errors. Click Finish to close the Wizard
The machine will now reboot
9 M I G R A T I N G T O A Z U R E A D Migrating to Azure AD User Profile Wizard enables you to migrate user profiles to Azure AD accounts, but additional configuration steps are required
Azure Object IDs and the ForensiTAzureID.xml file In order to migrate a user a profile to an Azure AD user account, User Profile Wizard needs to know the Object ID of the user account. The Object ID can be found on your Azure AD portal (https://portal.azure.com/) and can also be queried using the PowerShell AzureAD module
It is impractical to have to install the PowerShell AzureAD module on each machine you want to migrate, so User Profile Wizard uses a file to look up the Object ID of the Azure AD user account you want to migrate the user profile to. By default this file is called ForensiTAzureID.xml
10 M I G R A T I N G T O A Z U R E A D Generating a ForensiTAzureID.xml file To generate the ForensiTAzureID.xml file that User Profile Wizard will need to migrate profiles to your new Azure AD accounts, you need to run the Save-AzureADUser.ps1 PowerShell script
Save-AzureADUser.ps1 can be downloaded from: https://github.com/ForensiT/PowerShell
Run Save-AzureADUser.ps1 from a PowerShell command prompt
Note: The Save-AzureADUser.ps1 script uses the PowerShell AzureAD module to query Azure AD to get a list of user Object IDs. If the PowerShell AzureAD module is not installed, the script will attempt to install it. To install the AzureAD module, the script needs to be run with Admin permissions.1 1Obviously Save-AzureADUser.ps1 is a script! If you have not enabled PowerShell scripting, you need to do so by entering set-executionpolicy remotesigned in an Admin PowerShell console
11 M I G R A T I N G T O A Z U R E A D When you run the script, you will be prompted to authenticate to your Azure AD
Once you have done that, the script will create the ForensiTAzureID.xml file in the “Deployment Files” folder
If you open the ForensiTAzureID.xml file in Notepad, you will see a list of entries containing the Object ID, Display Name, and User Principle name of your Azure AD users, like this:
Select a User Profile The next step is to select the existing profile that the new user account will use. User Profile Wizard lists the profiles assigned to each user account. You just need to …
