    Migrating roaming profile user settings from XP to Win7
    « on: April 12, 2011, 04:58:51 PM »
    Hello all

    I'm in a Server 2003 SBS environment, and we use roaming profiles extensively. We have 70+ users, and we are making the conversion from XP to windows 7 on all of our workstations. All of the users need to be able to use their profiles in windows 7.

    The problem is that the user settings don't transfer properly (for example, Outlook e-mail account settings). I have implemented folder redirection, which works but doesn't solve this part of the issue. Additionally, the USMT (user-state migration tool) is not really the ideal option as it is suited best for transfering local user accounts. All of these roaming profiles are (obviously) stored in a single server location.

    How do I go about converting these profiles so that Windows 7 will keep all of their settings?

    Thanks,
    -Darryl
