Q: I am planning to move my Terminal Server to new hardware. How
can I move the user profiles to the new server?
A: The easiest way is to configure all user accounts with a roaming
profile, a couple of days before your intended server move. Once
every user has logged on and logged off your old Terminal Server,
the user profiles will be stored centrally and they will be loaded
when your users log on to the new Terminal Server.
If you want to stick to local user profiles on the Terminal Server,
here's the procedure to move them to the new server:
1. Create a test user account
2. Log on to the old server with the test user account and make a
couple of changes in the user environment. Write them down and
logoff
3. Start regedit on the old server and export the following 2
registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\ProfileGuid
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\ProfileList
4. Start regedit on the new server and export the same keys, as a
backup copy
5. Copy the exported keys (the .reg files) from the old server to
the new server and import them, by double-clicking on them
6. Use robocopy to copy the user profiles. In the following example
robocopy is run from the new server:
robocopy "\\old_server\c$\documents and settings" "c:\documents and
settings"
/COPYALL /S
/XD "\\old_server\c$\documents and settings\Administrator"
"\\old_server\c$\documents and settings\LocalService"
"\\old_server\c$\documents and settings\NetworkService"
"\\old_server\c$\documents and settings\Default User"
"\\old_server\c$\documents and settings\All Users"
7. That's it! Log on with the test user account and check the
changes you made in step 2 to verify that your profile is loaded
properly
