Authentication Wizard - Profile Migration Only

Basic Local-to-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 Local-to-Domain Profile Migration scenario. This scenario covers profiles being moved from a local user on the client to a user in a domain using a Domain Admin account for authentication. The computer account may or may not be in the same domain as the domain user. 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 Local User -> Domain User migration. Click Next>>
   
   
4. Select Domain admin accounts with local admin access. Click Next >>.
   
   
5. Enter the Username and Password for a domain user account which meets these criteria:
   • Member of 'Domain Admins' group.
   • Local administrator access to computers.
   
   This account will be used for the Administrator A, Administrator B, Source SID Lookup, and Destination SID Lookup authentication roles. Click Next.
   
   
6. 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.
