Authentication Wizard - Profile Migration Only

Local Admin-Authenticated Domain Profile Move Scenario

This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the Authentication Wizard to configure authentication roles for the Local Admin-Authenticated Domain Profile Move migration scenario. This scenario covers profiles being moved from one user to another within a single domain using local accounts with administrative privileges for authentication. Computer accounts may or may not be in the same domain. 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 All users are in the same domain and click Next >>.
   
   
5. Select Local admin accounts. Click Next >>.
   
   
6. Enter the Username and Password for a local user account which meets these criteria:
   • Must be a local administrator account.
   • Must be valid for ALL computers in the group.
   
   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.
   
   
7. Enter the Username and Password for a domain user account which meets these criteria:
   • Any active user account in the source user domain.
   
   This account will be used for the Source SID Lookup and Destination SID Lookup authentication roles. 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.
