Authentication Wizard - Profile Migration Only

Alter-Ego supports many authentication styles to provide flexibility for all manor of domain configurations. The Authentication Wizard is used to efficiently configure the various authentication roles required for any migration.

In Profile Migration Only mode, the Authentication Wizard sets the accounts required for a migration in which profiles are moved between one user and another without changing the domain membership of the computer. All other settings should be configured using the Easy Setup Wizard.

The four types of profile migrations are:

• Domain User -> Domain User: Choose this option if source and destination profiles both belong to domain users. i.e. use this option if you are migrating user profiles which belong to users in Domain A to users in Domain B or changing the profile of one user in Domain A to another user in Domain A.
• Domain User -> Local User: Choose this option if source profiles belong to domain users and destination profiles belong to local users. e.g. use this option to move profiles from a domain to a workgroup.
• Local User -> Domain User: Choose this option if source profiles belong to local users and destination profiles belong to domain users. e.g. use this option to move profiles from a workgroup to a domain.
• Local User -> Local User: Choose this option if source and destination profiles both belong to local users. i.e. use this option if you are moving settings between two local users.

Due to the numerous possible authentication scenarios, each one is covered in its own Step-by-Step guide. Please select your scenario from the options below:
