Machine Cutover migration: There is a scenario where users have 2 profiles (old profile: user.lastname), and (working profile: user.lastname.domain).

There is a scenario where users have 2 profiles (old profile: user.lastname), and (working profile: user.lastname.domain).

The ReACL profiles and the machine cutover migration are done successfully, but, when the user logged on, the OS is using the old profile (user.lastname) instead of the working profile (user.lastname.domain).

Question: We do not want to touch the user data. Is there any way to instruct the OS to use the working profile (user.lastname.domain), or is there some way to do it through the Binary Tree tool?, or some suggestions from your expertise?

    • Log on to the computer with a local admin account (or do this remotely)
    • Run regedit and expand HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and find the key that has the ProfileImagePath that points to the sAMAccountName without the “.domain)
    • Copy the values in all of these fields (not these exact values but the values in the fields in that registry)

    • Make sure to change the ProfileImagePath by removing the “.domain”
    • Delete the profile folder that has .domain
    • Log on to the computer with your Target account. You should have your profile back
