Task 16: Move the User Scripts and Profiles

In this task, you manually move scripts, roaming profiles, redirected folders, and home directories from your existing servers to the Management Server in Windows EBS. When you install Windows EBS, AD DS does not automatically replicate and update all of this data.

You are not required to move this data. Moving this data does not take any of your domain controllers offline, prevent users from logging on, or interrupt service.

Before you can move the data, you must first perform DNS migration (task 8).

Task 16 takes approximately two hours to complete. For step-by-step instruction on how to perform this task, see Chapter 7.
