Moving roaming profiles

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have roaming profiles setup on ServerA. I did enable the GPO that grants
Administrators rights to roaming profiles, but that only applied to profiles
created after that GPO was turned on. I would like to move all my profiles
from ServerA to ServerB but am at a loss as to how to do this. I would like
to do this without having to reset all the permissions on ServerA profiles,
copying to ServerB and then setting the permissions on all the folders to
their proper owners. Will this way even work? Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Cheers
V

Boy dejavu on this one. We had this same issue we chose to backup the data
and restore it at the new SAN location, thereby avoiding the permission
issue.

We have since wrote a logon script that uses xcacls.exe that the user
executes that adds the domain admin to the acls of the home folder and all
its files and folders.
