Hey everyone! I'm new to Windows Server administration and I'm working on a project to migrate about 10 PCs in a small organization to a new Active Directory domain. The machines are currently running Windows 11/10 Pro, and each has local administrator accounts that employees use daily. These local profiles have important software like SQL Server and Visual Studio 2019 installed. My main goal is to ensure that when users log in with their new domain accounts, they can access all their software and settings as if nothing changed—no reinstallation or reconfiguration needed. What's the best and most effective way to transfer user data, settings, and application configurations from the existing local profiles to the new domain profiles on the same systems?

I was thinking, how tough would it really be to just manually set up the new accounts? It might be a bit tedious, but with only 10 systems, you could do it one by one and ensure everything is running perfectly. If you do decide to use a tool, though, definitely consider ForensIT's products. They’ve got good stuff!
Definitely give the free Profile Wizard from ForensIT a try! It’s one of the best software tools I've come across for migrating profiles. It's simple but effective, and can make the process much easier.
From my experience, the best tool for this job is Profwiz from ForensIT. It’s widely regarded as the go-to solution for profile migrations. You can check it out at their website. It works wonders once you get it set up!
