We are looking for a method of coping domains user profiles (AppData and Documents) from a Server running Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2 to a hardware upgrade running the same OS. Our desktop solution has always been USMT (scanstate to a network share, then loadstate to the destination PC). However, this method is not supported by Windows Server Operating Systems. We have looked at third party applications to handle this task but, applications seem to end support at Windows 7. The Servers we maintain house about 250 user profiles, so we need a reliable method to run these migrations. We currently use CommVault as a backup solution on these particular Servers, but a profile cannot be restored until a user first logs onto the new machine and a subsequent profile is created.
If anyone has a suggestion on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
