Authentication Wizard - Profile Migration Only

Local Admin-Authenticated 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 Local Admin-Authenticated Local-to-Domain Profile Migration scenario. This scenario covers profiles being moved from a local user on the client to users in a domain using a combination of a local administrator account and a domain user 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 Local admin accounts. Click Next >>.
   
   
5. 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.
   
   This account will be used for the Administrator A, Administrator B, and Source SID Lookup, authentication roles. Click Next.
   
   
6. Enter the Username, Password, and Domain for a domain user account which meets this criterion:
   • Any active user account in the destination domain.
   /ul>
   This account will be used for the Destination SID Lookup authentication role. Click Next.
   
   
   • 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.
