Authentication Wizard - Profile Migration Only

Basic Domain Profile Migration Scenario

This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the Authentication Wizard to configure authentication roles for the Basic Domain Profile Migration scenario. This scenario covers profiles being moved from a user in one domain to a user in another domain. Computer accounts may or may not be in the same domain as either of the users. Workstation domain membership does not change. All other settings should be configured using the Easy Setup Wizard.

Step-by-Step

1. If it is not already running, the Authentication Wizard can be launched as part of the Easy Setup Wizard or by clicking on the Authentication Wizard button on the Authentication tab on the main Console screen.
   
   
2. Select Profile Migration Only. Click Next >>.
   
   
3. Select Domain User -> Domain User migration. Click Next>>
   
   
4. Select Source and destination users are in different domains and click Next >>.
   
   
5. Enter the Username and Password for a user account which meets these criteria:
   • Must have local administrator privileges on all computers.
   • May be a domain account or a local account.
   
   To use local accounts effectively a local username and password which is common to all systems should be used. If there isn't a single account/password combination which is common to all workstations Groups can be used to simplify configuration. This account will be used for the Administrator A and Administrator B authentication roles. Click Next.
   
   
6. Enter the Username and Password for a domain user account which meets this criterion:
   • Any active user account in source user domain.
   
   This account will be used for the Source SID Lookup authentication role. Click Next >>.
   
   
7. Enter the Username and Password for a domain user account which meets this criterion:
   • Any active user account in destination user domain.
   
   This account will be used for the Destination SID Lookup authentication role. Click Next >>.
   
   
8. The Authentication Wizard is complete. You are presented with the option to Override Settings if you choose, however this is not recommended as incorrect configuration of the authentication roles can result in failure of the migration on one or more clients. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
